In this lesson, children learn how to convert between different units of time including years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes and seconds. Children will be shown how to use mental multiplication methods to solve calculations such as 30x60.  There is a teaching presentation accompanied by differentiated activities with a range of fluency, reasoning and problem-solving questions.

National Curriculum Objectives:
Mathematics Year 5:
