This two-week unit develops student knowledge, understanding and skills for solving problems related to number and time concepts. Students are provided opportunities to:
solve problems by combining, separating and forming groups
sequence and identify the duration of events using a range of methods
read hour time on analog clocks
explain and represent mathematical thinking in a variety of ways.
Before engaging in these teaching and learning activities, students would benefit from prior experience with:
using materials or fingers to model and solve addition and subtraction questions, counting forwards or backwards by ones
using time language to describe the duration and sequence of events
using symbols, drawings, words, and numbers to record their thinking.
