🎯 WALT (We Are Learning To)...

Convert between units of time — including minutes to seconds, hours to minutes, and days to hours — and explain our thinking using examples from everyday life.

✅ Success Criteria — I can:

☐   Recall key time facts (60 seconds = 1 minute, 60 minutes = 1 hour, 24 hours = 1 day)

☐   Convert a larger unit of time into a smaller unit (e.g. 3 hours = 180 minutes)

☐   Convert a smaller unit of time into a larger unit (e.g. 120 minutes = 2 hours)

☐   Use a real-life example to explain a time conversion to a partner

⏱ 60 seconds = 1 minute  |  🕐 60 minutes = 1 hour  |  🌙 24 hours = 1 day  |  📅 7 days = 1 week

♿ Support Strategies

ADHD: Use a timer ⏲ for each section. Tick each success criteria as you go. Take a movement break between sections!

ASD: The worksheet follows a clear order — do one section at a time. Use the Key Facts box above whenever you need it.

Dysgraphia: You may circle answers, point, or tell your answer to a partner or teacher. Dot points are fine instead of full sentences.

Language Processing: Key words are bold. Re-read questions slowly. Ask a partner to read with you if helpful.

Dyslexia: This sheet uses short sentences and clear fonts. You may use a ruler to follow each line, or have questions read aloud.
