Learning journey

Your child is learning to measure the world around them — calculating areas and perimeters, converting between different units like metres and kilometres, and solving time problems using both analogue and digital clocks.

  • Read 7:43 from an analogue clock face
  • Write 11:06 on a digital display given a clock with hands
  • Match analogue and digital times to the nearest minute

Assessment prompt

If a clock's minute hand points just past the 9, can Telling time to the minute (age 8+) work out the exact time to the nearest minute — and write it in digital format?
