An interval is the space between two values or points. In this lesson, the time between nine o'clock and quarter past nine for example.

Compare and sequence intervals of time

Maths

Know the number of minutes in an hour and hours in a day

Tell and write the time to five minutes past on a clock face

Tell and write the time to five minutes past and to on a clock face

Tell and write quarter past and quarter to on a clock face

In this unit pupils will consolidate their understanding of time by comparing and sequencing intervals of time. They will learn to write the time to 5 minutes, including quarter past/quarter to. In the future unit pupils will tell and write the time from an analogue clock, including using Roman numerals from I to XII, and 12-hour and 24-hour clocks. 

In the prior unit pupils sequenced events in chronological order and recognised and used language related to dates. They told the time to the hour and half past the hour, linked to fractions. In this unit pupils will consolidate their understanding of time by comparing and sequencing intervals of time. They will learn to write the time to 5 minutes, including quarter past/quarter to.
