Week Beginning – Monday 22nd June – Year One Maths Activities

This week we are going to be looking at time. In Year 1, children need to be able to tell the time to the hour and half past the hour and begin to draw the hands on a clock face to show these times. It really helps children at this stage to have a pretend clock which they can manipulate or make their own clock using card/paper plate/ split pins. There is an interactive clock here if you need to manipulate the hands on a computer:https://www.roomrecess.com/Tools/InteractiveClock/play.html

Maths Task 1Let’s make our own clock! Here is an example. You don’t have to copy it, be creative!You are going to need:

- Coloured pens/pencil- A paper plate or some paper

1. Draw a circle or get a paper plate. 2. Cut out your circle3. Now, you are going to write the number 12 in the

middle at the top of your clock.4. Then, do the same but at the bottom of your clock

with the number 6. 5. After, put the number 3 in the middle of 12 and 6 on

the right 6. Next, put the number 9 between the 12 and 6 on the left. 7. Now, you need to fill in the rest of the numbers that you haven’t yet put on your

clock. 8. Then, underneath the number 12, write o’clock 9. Now above the number 6, write half past. 10. Draw two arrows, one needs to bigger than the other. Make sure they are

big enough so you can write on them 11. Now cut them out. 12. After, on the longer arrow you are going to write minutes13. Then, on the smaller arrow you are going to write hour 14. Place the longer arrow in the middle of the clock facing upwards,15. Finally, put the smaller arrow on top of the longer arrow also facing

upwards.

Maths Task 1 – Option B Here is a template for you to use.You are going to cut out the clock and then you can either cut out the rest of the numbers or write them in yourself.

Then cut out the arrows for your hourand minute hands. The smaller arrow isyour hour hand and the longer arrow is the minutes hand. Now, place them onto your clock. The longer arrow will go on the bottom and the smaller arrow on top.Maths Task 2 – Learning o’clockThe clocks we are going to be working on are called analogue. When the minute hand (the longer hand) is pointing upwards to the number

12 it is an o’clock time. When the hour hand (the shorter hand) is pointing to a number, that will be the hour. Children should notice that the hands on the clock go in a clockwise direction.

Option A Using the clock you made yesterday, I want you to make the following o’clock times:

- 2 o’clock- 5 o’clock- 6 o’clock - 9 o’clock - 12 o’clock

Challenge – Is there anything in your daily routine that you do at an o’clock? Make a note of different things you do. E.g. At 12 o’clock I have lunch.

Option BRead the following times below and write the answer in the box below the clock.

Challenge:

Maths Task 3 –

Learning half past When the minute hand (the longer hand) has travelled half way around the clock from twelve and is pointing at the six, it is half past the hour. The hour hand (the smaller one) is now half way between the hours, e.g. half way between 6 and 7.

Option A Using the times below, I would like you to make the half past times on your clock.

- Half past 2- Half past 5 - Half past 3 - Half past 9 - Half past 1- Half past 11- Half past 12

Option B Look at the below worksheet and work out the half past times. Remember to look at the ‘hour hand’ (the shorter one) and see where it has gone halfway past!

Challenge: Try and draw the hands on accurately to the clock

below by following the instructions carefully.

Maths Task 3 – Extension Task Using your new knowledge of time, work out these questions. Try to work out an hour later. It is just like adding 1 more to a number. Try and draw the hands on accurately making the minute hand longer and the hour hand shorter. Even if you are unsure, have a go. The worksheet will be attached to today’s activity.

Maths Task 4 – If your child is finding o’clock and half past difficult, try repeating task 2 and 3 until they are confident with this.Today we are going to be looking at an hour before and an hour after a certain time. An hour has passed when the long hand goes all the way around the clock. Look at the table below, you are going to work out an hour before, an hour after or both! Just write the time E.g. 6 o’clock or half past 7. Try completing the first 4. If you are feeling confident, try the last 3 for a challenge!

An hour before The time An hour later

Maths Task 5 – Option A Here you can play a board game. When you land on the time you have to:

1. Say it out loud, and2. Then make it on your

clock you made on Monday. I will attach the board game to today’s activities.

Maths Task 5 – Option B This game puts all of your learning together that you have completed this week.

Maths Task 5 – Extension workHere is a worksheet for you to do. They are time word problems. Can you work out what the time would be? It’s just the same as adding (e.g. 8 o’clock add 1 hour = 9 o’clock).
