Tuesday 19th January – Numeracy

Triangles

Watch You Tube link below for an introduction to 24 hour time.
‘Pic 1’ Read the top half of the page carefully and then try the questions in your jotter. For number 2 it may help if you can find something circular to draw around? Like a cup for instance. Or you may prefer to point with a pencil and show an adult where the minute hand would go.

‘Pic 2’ Time to the nearest minute – take care with this page. Remember which was hands travel around a clock.

Squares

‘Pic 3’ Reading a calendar. Answer the questions in your jotter.

‘Pic 4’ Counting the weeks between dates. Remembering there are 7 days in a week – for instance, Wednesday 1st March – one week further on will be Wednesday 8th March.
Write the answers in your jotter, or you may prefer to answer them orally and have an adult listen to your answers.

Circles

Use a cup, glass or bowl to draw around and make your own clock. Draw the numbers on in the correct places, and with help from an adult, can you mark in 5 minutes between each number?
Add hands at the end to show what the time is when you have finished. Using a ruler will help your clock hands look better.
