Maths
This week we will be telling the time.
To help your child with their learning, making a clock would be useful. We have included a sheet to
help with this.
These are useful websites to help support your child’s learning this week.

You can find these by clicking on the link and following ‘Year 2’ - ‘Mathematics’ -
‘Measurement’ then scrolling down to ‘Time’.

Lesson 1 - O’clock and half past
In this lesson we recap the hour hand and the minute hand.
We recap when the minute hand is pointing at the 12 we say o’clock and when
the minute hand is pointing at the 6 we say half past.
There is an optional sheet at the end.

Were you correct? Maybe you could make a ‘True
or False’ question for a family member!
Now you can complete the optional sheet for more practise.
Lesson 2 - Quarter To and Quarter Past
In this lesson we recap that a quarter of an hour is 15 minutes and recap
when we use the words ‘to’ and ‘past’.

Lesson 3 - Telling time to 5 minutes
In this lesson it is important for your child to understand that the numbers
they see on the clock represent the hour. They also need to remember ‘past’
and ‘to’. We would encourage your child to says 10 minutes to the hour rather
than 50 minutes past.
A good warm up with your child would be to count in 5s forward and
backwards.
If you feel your child should continue to focus on o’clock, half past, quarter
past and quarter to, then please focus on these times with them.

This clock shows the hours in black on the inside, and the minutes in
blue around the outside (most clocks don’t show the minutes).
Can you see a pattern between the hours on the inside and the
minutes on the outside?
How many minutes past does the blue hand show?
Does it show 2 minutes past or 10 minutes past?
•
Black numbers are the hours and blue numbers are the minutes.
We read the time as ‘minutes past or to the hour’.
Think of it as ‘blue minutes past or to black’.
The time is 10 minutes past 12.
How many minutes past is the minute hand pointing to?
What time does the clock show?
(hint – blue past black)
The time is 20 minutes past 1.
The time is 25 minutes past 3. Can you explain why?
After the minute hand passes ‘half past’, the time stops being ‘minutes past’
and becomes ‘minutes to’.
This is slightly trickier because the minutes on the outside of the clock are
still counting past the hour.
This clock makes it easier to read the minutes to the hour because all the
numbers in green show the minutes to the hour.
The time will now be ‘green minutes to black’.
How many minutes is it to the hour?
What time is this clock showing us?
What time is it?
It is 10 minutes to 8.
Which clock shows 10 minutes to 2?
Which clock shows 25 minutes past 11?
Which clock shows 25 minutes to 11?
Which clock shows 10 minutes to 2?
Which clock shows 25 minutes past 11?
Which clock shows 25 minutes to 11?

Lesson 4 - Hours and days
At the start of this lesson it would be a good idea to recap how many minutes
are in 1 hour, in half an hour, in quarter of an hour and in one and a half hours.
If your child has made a clock, they will find it helpful to use in this lesson.
Your child will be saying what the time will be in half an hour/30 minutes and
what the time was one hour earlier.

The time is 4 o’clock.
The programme that I am going to watch lasts for 30 minutes.
What time will it finish? How do you know?
It will finish at half past 4.
You might have counted round the clock in 5’s moving the minute hand until you reached 30.
Match these! What will be the time in 30 minutes?
20 minutes past 2
10 o’clock
10 minutes to 12
Let’s check!
20 minutes past 2
10 o’clock
10 minutes to 12
The time is 4 o’clock.
The football game started 1 hour earlier.
What time did it start? How do you know?
It started at 3 o’clock.
You might have counted back round the clock in 5’s moving the minute hand until you reached 60
or you might have known that 1 full turn of the minute hand is 1 hour. You might also have
known that 4 - 1 is 3.
Match these! What would the time have been 1 hour
(or you could say 60 minutes) earlier?
quarter to 9
25 minutes past 6
8 o’clock
Let’s check!
quarter to 9
25 minutes past 6
8 o’clock

Lesson 5 - Find durations of time
In this lesson the children will read a time, then be counting in 5s starting at
the minute hand to find out what time an activity finished at.
Click below for a Teaching Video
With someone at home, order these times from
the shortest to the longest. Explain how you
know.
This clock shows a 30 minute duration.
Do you know why?
Hint - count in 5s using the numbers on the clock to help you!
This clock shows a 15 minute duration.
Do you know why?
Hint - count in 5s using the numbers on the clock to help you!
Today we are going to learn about duration of time.
I started reading my book at 9 o’clock.
I read it for 20 minutes.
What time did I finish reading?
If you have a clock, make 9 o’clock. Count round in 5’s with the minute hand until you count
to 20. What time is it?
It would be 20 minutes past 9.
Let’s try another one!
I got on the bus at 20 minutes past 5.
I was on the bus for 35 minutes.
What time did I get off the bus?
Hint: start at the minute hand and count in 5s until
you reach 35.
What time is it?
It would be 5 minutes to 6.
Try these! How long did I get to play on the ipad for?
Remember to count in 5s!

I played on my ipad for 20
minutes.
I played on my ipad for 10
minutes.
