Teaching Presentation: Rehearse 24 hour clock; time intervals ( Year 4 Measures and Data )

This presentation provides two days of teaching that cover the objectives:

• Rehearse 24 hour clock
• Time intervals
  It includes starter activities, whole class teaching, group activities, practice sheets and mastery questions. It can be used on a variety of interactive whiteboards.

Day 1 Teaching
Revise 24-hr clock using a train timetable and relating times to the school day. Convert 24-hour clock times to am and pm times and vice versa. Count in steps of 1 hour on a counting stick from different starting times, through midday and midnight.

Day 2 Teaching
Visit an online TV guide. Children write start times using 12-hour format (they are in 24-hour format on the website). Children find programmes lasting less than half an hour, then those lasting more than half an hour. Scroll for a programme crossing an hour. Sketch a time line jotting to show how to find the length of this programme. Repeat.

This teaching is part of Hamilton’s Year 4 Measures and Data block. Each Hamilton maths block contains a complete set of planning and resources to teach a term’s worth of objectives for one of the National Curriculum for England’s maths areas.
