This week, Primary 4 presented their Climate Zones knowledge to parents, family and friends. Thanks to all that came – we hope you enjoyed it!
We have been exploring time in Maths – minutes past/to the hour (in 5 minute gaps). We found this very tricky so we came up with some tips to help others remember how to find the time:
- Start with the hour hand (little hand) first – which o’ clock is it closer to? (e.g. 2)
- Then look at the minutes hand (large hand) – which number is it pointing to? (e.g 4)
- Next, multiply that number by 5, as we are working in gaps of five minutes (2.20)
- Finally, work out how many minutes until the next o’ clock (e.g. 2.20 = 40 minutes until 3)
Miss McLaughlin would love it if we could practise this at home.
Many thanks,
Primay 4 & Miss M 🙂
