Time Unit Conversions - Task Cards
A set of 12 time conversion task cards to use in a variety of ways.
Use this resource when studying time conversions.
Print out the task cards on cardstock and cut them out.
Ways to use this resource:
- Place the task cards on a binder ring and place in a math center for students to complete.
- Have a gallery walk with a partner. Hang the cards an equal distance apart on the walls in your room. Partner up your students and assign each pair a starting card. Provide an allotted amount of time for the pairs to answer each card. When time for each card is up, use a signal (e.g. blow a whistle, ring a bell, clap your hands, flick the lights on and off) to tell the students to move to the next card. Students will move in the same direction. Play continues until the students return back to the card they started at.
- Project them one at a time on the board and have students answer them on a mini dry erase board as a math warm-up.
We have also created an Assess template for this resource to use virtually. Use the drop-down menu to choose between the full color and black and white PDF version or click on the blue Assess button.
