Telling the time: book 3

Telling the time is a vital life skill. Schofield & Sims Telling the Time breaks this difficult topic down into a sequence of manageable ideas that young learners can approach at their own pace. Beginning with child-friendly explanations of times of day and units of time, the series moves on to introduce telling the time on an analogue clock, before progressing to cover different ways of measuring and representing time, time expressions and everyday time problems. Each Telling the Time book provides:

  • large, clear clock faces for easy counting
  • colour-coded hands to aid recognition of hours and minutes
  • Learn panels that explain time-telling in simple steps
  • fun general-knowledge facts to enrich learning
  • targeted practice, including counting activities, matching exercises and drawing the hands on the clock
  • answers to all the practice questions in the book.

Telling the Time Book 3 supports the National Curriculum requirements for Years 3 and 4 and covers the following topic areas: reading and writing the time to the nearest minute; converting between analogue and digital 12- and 24-hour clocks; comparing durations of events; Roman numerals; timetables; time zones; and solving problems involving converting between units of time (including seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years).
