By year 4 children are expected to know that:
1 week = 7 days
1 day = 24 hours
1 hour = 60 minutes
1 minute = 60 seconds
This maths worksheet uses this knowledge to answer some straightforward questions. It also requires a calculator so more detailed information can be found, such as the number of minutes in a week. This, in turn, can lead on to some interesting investigative work, such as finding out how long a year is in minutes, and then how many minutes you have been alive (not forgetting leap years). It is quite an eye opener to realise how many precious minutes have been taken up in queues, traffic jams etc!!
