(click here to play) Practising changing the time on an analogue clock with reference to a digital clock.
Learning objectives/outcomes: NNS Measures, shapes and space 78 Y1: Read the time to the hour and half hour on analogue clocks. Y2: Read the time to the hour, half hour or quarter hour on an analogue clock and a 12-hour digital clock, and understand the notation 7:30. Y3: Read the time to 5 minutes on an analogue clock and a 12-hour digital clock, and use the notation 9:40. NC KS2: Understanding measures d) Read the time from analogue and digital 12- and 24-hour clocks; use units of time - seconds, minutes, hours...
(click here to play) This activity is the third of four levels which practise measuring the weight, length or volume of ingredients in a magic potion. You can create and save your own versions too.
Learning objectives/outcomes: NNS Y4:
Measures 90: Use, read and write standard metric units (km, m, cm, mm, kg, g, l, ml), including their abbreviations; Suggest suitable units and measuring equipment to estimate length, mass or capacity; Record estimates and readings from scales to a suitable degree of accuracy.
NC KS2:
Understanding measures 4a: recognise the need for standard units of length, mass and capacity, choose which ones are suitable for a task, and use them to make sensible estimates in everyday situations; convert one metric unit to another.
(click here to play) This activity is the last and most advanced of four levels which practise measuring the weight, length and volume of different ingredients in a magic potion. This level also focuses on how measurements correspond - e.g. If a ruler is marked in m can you measure something in cm.
Learning objectives/outcomes: NNS Y5 & Y6:
Measures 91: Use, read and write standard metric units (km, m, cm, mm, kg, g, l, ml), including their abbreviations and relationships between them. Comvert larger to smaller units (e.g km to m, m to cm, kg to g, l to ml); Suggest suitable units and measuring equipment to estimate or measure length, mass or capacity.
NC KS2:
Understanding measures 4a: recognise the need for standard units of length, mass and capacity, choose which ones are suitable for a task, and use them to make sensible estimates in everyday situations; convert one metric unit to another.
(click here to play) This activity is the second of four levels which practise measuring weight, length and volume with a range of ingredients to create a magic potion. You can create and save your own versions too.
Learning objectives/outcomes: NNS: Y3: Measures: Measure and compare using standard units (km, m, cm, kg, g, l, ml)
Measure scales to the nearest division. NC - KS2: Ma3 4b: choose and use suitable measuring instruments for a task; interpret numbers and read scales with increasing accuracy.
Learning objectives/outcomes: NNS Y3:
Shape and space 87-89: Recognise and use the four compass directions: N, S, E, W; Make and describe right angled turns, including turns between the four compass points.
NC KS2:
Understanding properties of shape 2a: recognise right angles.
Learning objectives/outcomes: NNS Y4:
Shape and space 108-110: Use the eight compass directions N, S, E, W, NW, NW, SE, SW; Make and measure clockwise and anti-clockwise turns: for example from SW to N; Begin to know that angles are measured in degrees and that one whole turn is 360 degrees or 4 right angles.
NC KS2:
Understanding measures 4c: recognise angles as greater or less than a right angle or half turn.
Learning objectives/outcomes: NNS Y5:
Shape and space 111: Understand and use angle measure in degrees; Identify, estimate and order acute and obtuse angles.
NC KS2:
Understanding measures 4c) Recognise angles as greater or less than a right angle or half turn, estimate their size and order them.
Learning objectives/outcomes: NNS Y6:
Shape and space 111: Recognise and estimate angles; Use a protractor to measure and draw acute and obtuse angles to the nearest degree.
NC KS2:
Understanding measures 4c: Recognise angles as greater or less than a right angle or half turn, estimate their size and order them; measure and draw acute, obtuse and right angles to the nearest degree.
Learning objectives/outcomes: NNS Measures, shape and space: Y2: Read the time to the hour, half hour or quarter hour on an analogue clock and a 12-hour digital clock and understand the notation 7:30.
Y3: Read the time to 5 minutes on an analogue clock and a 12-hour digital clock, and use the notation 9:40. NC Understanding measures d) Read the time from analogue and digital 12- and 24-hour clocks; use of time - seconds, minutes, hours... and know the relationship between them.
Learning objectives/outcomes: NNS Measures, shape and space 79: Y2: Read the time to the hour, half hour or quarter hour on an analogue clock and a digital clock and understand the notation 7:30. Y3: Read the time to 5 minutes on an analogue clock and a 12-hour digital clock, and use the notation 9:40. NC KS1: Understanding Measures b) understand angle as a measure of turn using whole turnsx, half-turns and quarter-turns
KS2: Understanding Measures d) Read the time from analogue and digital 12- and 24-hour clocks; use units of time - seconds, minutes, hours... and know the relationship between them.
