Whole School Maths Target
Summer Theme 2013: Time
Information from email: All children should be able to tell the time by the end of Year 3 on an analogue and digital clock! Time is not even
mentioned in the New Programme of Study for Year 5 or Year 6, as it is expected that pupils will be secure in all aspects of time by the end of Year 4. I
think we have a long way to go with this at the moment, as I know there are children in Year 6 who still struggle to tell the time! Please look carefully at
each year group’s targets related to time and make a decision as to which will be the most suited for your pupils. These targets show what is expected
at each ability in each year group, matched to the new curriculum. However, analysis of data and discussions with staff show that telling the time is a
weakness at Putnoe currently, so if you need to choose a target from a lower year group to start, then do. (E.g. There is no point you setting a child the
target of being able to use a time line to calculate the difference between two times, if they cannot tell the time to the hour and half past the hour!!
Hope that makes sense). Any questions – please ask. Nina 

Point to a picture which shows something that you think happened in the evening.
Introduce a number line which contains the numerals one through twelve. Bend the
number line into a circle to resemble a clock face. Provide a worksheet with a large
circle. Ask the students to place the numerals inside the circle to make a clock face.
According to the ability of the group, you may wish to place some marks on the circle
to facilitate spacing of the numbers. Print [clock with numbers] [clock without numbers].

Challenge children to guess how long 1
minute is. They close their eyes and lay
down their heads while you watch the
clock. Each child raises a hand when he
or she thinks 1 minute is up. Tell children
that you will put their hands back down if
they are too early. Clap your hands when
the minute is up. Have children watch as
the second hand goes around the clock
once. Challenge them to try again to
guess when the minute is up.

Children know the relationships between seconds, minutes, hours and days. They read
the time on a 12hour digital clock and on an analogue clock to the nearest 5 minutes.
They use counting strategies to work out simple time differences. For example, to find the
length of Joy’s journey to school if she leaves home at 8:40 and arrives at school at 9:05,
children count on in 5minute intervals using a clock face. Alternatively, they may use the
fact that there are 60 minutes in an hour to bridge over the hour, recording their working
using informal recording such as a time line.
