fun & active telling the time activity- differentiated challenges for KS1 and LKS2 12/24 hour clock

This is a fun and active maths lesson for teaching time.

I did this in the hall, we used hula hoops as our clock faces and arranged the numbers and clock hands around these. It would also be a great outdoors activity to inject some fun into maths!

The bundle includes numbers 1-24 and roman numerals I - XII, meaning that the clock is a flexible resource to be used in lots of ways with children of a variety of ages.

There are 5 sets of challenge cards- o’clock and half past, 15 minute intervals, 5 minute intervals, 1 minute intervals and converting to the 24hr clock. These would all work very well with the roman numerals as well as the numbers. Depending on the age/level of the children, simply setting up the roman numeral clock may be a challenge!

The challenge cards work well to meet objectives across KS1 and LKS2 and also as differentiation within a year group or as a recap of prior learning.
