Maths this week has been all about lengths of time. We decided to see how much that we really knew about what we could do in a given amount of time…
The class faced away from the clock and concentrated really hard on timing 1 minute.
An easy task? Only for 3 class members!
We then wrote a list of things in school that we could estimate the time of and then use a timer to see if we were close, here are some of them:
| Actual Time | |
| Run upstairs | 5 seconds |
| Visit the office | 2 minutes 15 seconds |
| Playtime bell rings for | 10 seconds |
| Visit P5A | 1 minute 34 seconds |
| Walk to the toilet | 32 seconds |
| Find ‘mechanic’ in the dictionary | 1 minute 1 second |
To finish off we played a game to challenge others to complete given tasks the quickest! Tossing coins, singing ‘Happy Birthday’, drawing flowers, naming all of the pupils in the class. Here we are having great fun!
It was the best maths ever
I loved doing that it was so fun.
