Looking for a fun and engaging way to challenge your children's knowledge and understanding of time? Then download this Year 3 Minutes and Seconds Challenge Activity and get the party started!

With two challenges to choose from, it is up to you whether they do one or both! The first activity sees children take turns to roll the dice and be the first to reach three minutes. Beware though, the dice could send them back to zero to start again! The second question requires children to work out timings for planets Zohanot and Doobree to ensure all children and aliens finish for their break on time.

Each question has been designed to encourage mathematical discussions amongst children whilst enthusing and inspiring curiosity.
