About This Worksheet
This Year 2 measurement worksheet focuses on the essential skill of telling time, a crucial life skill and a key component of the UK primary mathematics curriculum. Specifically designed for Year 2 students, this worksheet provides valuable practice in reading analogue clocks to five-minute intervals, including understanding 'quarter past' and 'quarter to' the hour. By completing these exercises, children will develop their ability to accurately identify and represent time, strengthening their understanding of this fundamental measurement concept. This worksheet not only reinforces the core mathematical skill of telling time but also fosters important problem-solving abilities. The questions encourage children to apply their knowledge of time to real-world scenarios, building confidence in their mathematical abilities. Regular practice with this worksheet will help Year 2 students solidify their understanding of time, preparing them for more complex time-related concepts in later years. Mastering time-telling skills also has practical applications in everyday life, from planning daily routines to understanding schedules. This worksheet provides a fun and engaging way for Year 2 students to develop essential measurement skills and build a strong foundation in mathematics. It's a valuable tool for teachers and parents looking to support children's learning and ensure they are meeting curriculum expectations in measurement and time.
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 students to telling time to five-minute intervals. It can be used as a classroom activity, homework assignment, or as part of a revision session. Before starting, ensure students are familiar with the parts of an analogue clock (hour hand, minute hand) and can count in fives. For differentiation, provide students who are struggling with clocks that have movable hands. Encourage them to physically move the hands to match the times given. For students who are confident, challenge them to create their own time-related problems. A common mistake is confusing the hour and minute hands. Remind students that the hour hand is shorter and moves more slowly. As an extension activity, ask students to record their daily activities and the times they occur, then create a timeline of their day.
