Read and write the time in words, analogue and digital. "Endless" differentiated activity

A great activity that can keep your class busy for as long as you need it to. Ideal as a lesson, after you give your input on telling the time, for the children to practise, or you to assess their knowledge.

If, like me, you hate been followed around the room by children who have 'finished' this is the ideal type of lesson for you. Just have a supply of spare blank worksheets at hand!

There are 18 different times to the half hour (on green), 18 different times to the quarter hour (on orange) and 18 different times to 5 minutes (on red). Children select a time and stick it on their sheet then fill in the other two formats to show the same time as the one they selected. For example, if the choose a digital time they stick it over the blank digital clock on their sheet then complete the analogue clock and write the time in words on the remaining spaces on that line.

I suggest having a choice of different colours on each table so the children can self differentiate (so on my lower ability table, for example, I gave them lots of green cards plus a few orange and one or two red).

Included in this pack is the blank worksheet in PDF and Word (if you want to edit it) formats. Then there are three colour coded sheets of the challenge times that you will need to cut up before the lesson. On the summary PDF I have also added a link to the Google Drive folder where I keep the originals, you can then copy the original files and use Google Drawings if you want to change the times on the challenge cards.
