Kick Off Your Telling Time Lessons With an Introduction!

Are you prepping to start teaching your unit on Telling Time? This year, instead of diving straight into the content, ease your students into the concepts and give them an additional lesson to help them build their background knowledge. Time is an abstract concept to primary school students, and you can help them understand more about the history of time and measurement before diving into the maths lessons!

Teach Students About the Origins of Time and Its Measurement

By learning about the origins of time, students can better understand historical events, cultural developments, and the world around them. We have created a comprehensive teaching slide deck that will guide you and your students through an interactive journey to introduce the concept of time in your classrooms. Whether you teach history, maths, or other related subjects, these slides provide an easy way to engage your students in thought-provoking discussions and activities. With this resource, you will be equipped with the tools to make learning about time fun, interesting, and engaging.

The topics covered in this presentation include:

  • a brief history of time
  • the development of the calendar
  • the development of the clock
  • the parts of a clock
  • the relationship between the units of time on a clock.
