We created this resource with our friend Max the monkey, who believes everything in the world is a maths puzzle waiting to be solved. Max loves using this mat to help him calculate how long it takes to swing from tree to tree! Teachers can use the mat as a desk-side reference tool, print it as a poster for the maths working wall, or include it in home-learning packs.
This resource is perfectly aligned with the Year 2 programme of study, focusing on telling and writing the time to five minutes, including quarter past and quarter to the hour. By using our Maths time word mat year 2 core, you ensure your students have the vocabulary to explain their thinking clearly.
This core-level resource includes five engaging questions to test understanding:
1. If the long hand points to the 6, what time is it?
2. How many minutes are there in one hour?
3. Which hand moves faster: the hour hand or the minute hand?
4. If it is quarter past three, where are the hands pointing?
5. Write down the time shown on your mat in digital format.
