Group 1 - digital time (L.O. To begin to translate analogue to digital time)  

Do not print worksheets - pupils use chromebooks to complete task in their maths books. They can write the time in analogue and then write the matching digital time next to it. 

For the matching worksheet, they can write the analogue times down one side of the page, and the digital times on the opposite side before drawing lines to match. 

Using the Topmarks teaching clock, can you complete the worksheets below to consolidate your knowledge of digital time. Put the time of the analogue clock on to the clock on Topmarks, then click on the digital button to transfer the time to digital. Use this to support your work, but see how many questions you can complete independently and use the clock to self-check.
