Preparing for Learning
Prior to commencing the unit, the students should be able to tell the time to the minute using am and pm notation. They should also have had experience solving simple time problems, such as calculating the time required to travel between two locations.
Develop a time wall in the classroom. Include vocabulary that the students will engage with throughout the unit to stimulate their learning. Display posters that will help remind them of the key concepts they have learned. For examples of teaching resources to display in your classroom, browse the Time category on the Teach Starter website.
Some of the resources which accompany this unit plan will need to be prepared prior to teaching. For this reason, it is advised that teachers browse through all lessons before commencing the unit.
