Time
Measure time in seconds, use the 24-hour clock, and find the starting time, finishing time or duration.
Your child measures short times in seconds, reads the 24-hour clock, and finds a starting time, finishing time or duration from the other two. All through the chapter, time counts in sixties, not hundreds. So the habit is to jump to the next hour first on a timeline, then jump the rest. Read the study guide →
About this chapter
These Primary 3 time questions follow the MOE outcomes for the year: measuring time in seconds, the 24-hour clock, and finding a starting time, finishing time or duration from the other two. The chapter ends with multi-step journeys, breaks and clocks that run fast or slow, then a mixed set.
Practise by question type: converting minutes and seconds questions, 24-hour clock questions, start time, end time and duration questions, time word problems with breaks and p3 time mixed practice questions.
