Time 2- page 116 -120
The Clock: This week we will concentrate on ¼ past and ¼ to. If possible use a clock at set the time, allow the children to orally give the answer. The children may be confused with working out the answer. It is a good idea to casually ask them throughout the day to look at the clock and tell you the time. Draw a clock and get the children to draw hands on the clock.
Go to CJFallon, click on student resources, then filter to 2nd class, Busy at Maths. Go to page 7 and there are interactive games liked to place value. They are labelled page 116-120.
This is a game from Topmarks to help with learning the time. https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/117/telling_the_time_in_words#
A quick look back 7: page 121. I would usually go through this page orally and discuss any tricky problems; I would then let the children off to do them alone.
