Our discussion problems are great for use in class when children are becoming more confident with their new learning. Designed to be completed in small groups or partners, this Year 3 Comparing the Duration Discussion Problem includes two in-depth questions that children can discuss together to find the most efficient ways of working.

An answer page is also provided with this resource, which includes an example answer for each question. Allowing your class to mark their own work could help them to develop their self-correction skills.
