About This Worksheet
This Year 2 measurement worksheet focuses on the crucial subtopic of time, providing essential practice in telling time to five-minute intervals, including quarter past and quarter to the hour. This worksheet directly supports the National Curriculum for England, specifically the Year 2 objective of telling the time. By working through these exercises, children will develop their ability to read analogue clocks, a fundamental life skill. The activities encourage children to not only read the time but also to represent it by drawing hands on clock faces, reinforcing their understanding. This worksheet helps build confidence in working with time, a concept that can initially be challenging for young learners. The problems are designed to be accessible and engaging, allowing children to practice and consolidate their skills. Furthermore, understanding time is essential for developing a sense of routine and planning daily activities. This worksheet provides a solid foundation for more advanced time-related concepts in later years. Regular practice with this worksheet will enhance Year 2 students' understanding of measurement, specifically time, and improve their problem-solving skills. It's a valuable tool for reinforcing classroom learning and ensuring children are confident in their ability to tell the time. This worksheet is a great way to practice telling the time and develop essential measurement skills.
Learning Objectives
- ✓Tell and write the time to five minutes, including quarter past/to the hour and draw the hands on a clock face to show these times.
- ✓Compare and sequence intervals of time.
- ✓Solve simple problems involving time.
💡 How to Use This Worksheet
This worksheet is designed to be used after introducing Year 2 children to telling time to the nearest five minutes. It can be used as a classroom activity, homework assignment, or as a tool for assessment. Before using the worksheet, ensure children are familiar with analogue clocks and can identify the hour and minute hands. For differentiation, provide children who are struggling with clocks with physical clocks to manipulate. For children who are confident, encourage them to create their own time-related problems. A common mistake is confusing the hour and minute hands, so remind children to carefully observe which hand is shorter and which is longer. Extension activities could include asking children to plan a simple daily schedule and write down the times of different activities.
