Duration of Time
Students calculate the duration of events in hours and minutes by finding the difference between start and end times.
Key Questions
- How do we find out how long an event lasts from its start and end times?
- What strategies help us calculate time that spans across an hour boundary?
- If an event starts at 2:15 and lasts 45 minutes, what time does it end?

Planning templates for Mathematics
5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerMath Unit
Plan a multi-week math unit with conceptual coherence: from building number sense and procedural fluency to applying skills in context and developing mathematical reasoning across a connected sequence of lessons.
rubricMath Rubric
Build a math rubric that assesses problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and communication alongside procedural accuracy, giving students feedback on how they think, not just whether they got the right answer.

Telling Time to 5 Minutes
Students read and write time to the nearest 5 minutes on analogue and digital clocks, using "past" and "to" language for times around the hour.
