Support, differentiation and extension

Differentiation strategies: - Provide number lines or a 5-minute tick clock for students who need extra support. - Work in small groups to practise saying "minutes past" and "minutes to".

Extension activities: - Ask advanced learners to write the time in 24-hour format and explain how they know (e.g. 15:25). - Create three time word problems using 'past' and 'to'.

Dyslexia-friendly reading options: - Read instructions aloud and display one short sentence per line. - Use coloured overlays if preferred and allow oral responses or drawing instead of written answers.
