Time Passing

Summer is here and it’s time to pack away the filled exercise books of the year that has passed and start relaxing… 

But there is no need to switch off completely.  

Maths happens all around us and this summer I will be setting a series of challenges for you to think of ways to engage your children with some ‘big idea’ maths.  Asking open questions and exploring.  

Week 1 Challenge is all about time - not telling the time - but time passing.  

Let’s explore what time passing feels like, let ask ‘What is a minute?’, ‘What is a week?’ and see where the discussion takes us.  

Suggested equipment…

• A clock

• A phone with a timer 

• A stopwatch

• A calendar

• Photos from a week/month/year ago

Remember to share your ideas and inspire others.
