Time 3

Click here to download 4 sets of cards showing time in different ways.

Sort and match the cards. If all these times are between noon and midnight match the times given digitally on the 12 hour clock with the times given on the 24 hour clock. Put them in order.

Now match all the times with the times shown on the clockface and the times as we speak about them.

Then play the Pelmathism Memory Game, first with 2 sets of cards. Then, when learners are confident about these representations, use all 4 sets of cards. Shuffle the cards and place them face down on a table, in rows and columns or just spread out. Players take turns to turn over 2 cards. When they match, the player keeps the pair and has another turn. If the cards don’t match the two cards are turned face down in the same positions and the next player has a turn. The winner is the player with most pairs when all the cards have been taken.

Describe a long journey, your own journey or a journey for a sports or music star or team. Explain what happens at different times, how long is spent walking or waiting for buses, trains or flights, and how long the stages of the journey take.
