Timers and clocks are important tools that help us understand time in Year 7 Math. They make it easier to learn about units like hours, minutes, and seconds.

How We Use Them:

• Clocks: They help us tell time. For example, we learn that 1 hour is the same as 60 minutes.

• Timers: They let us measure time and see how long things take. For example, using a timer to see how many seconds it takes to finish a homework assignment helps us learn about shorter time periods.

Example:

If something takes 2 minutes and 30 seconds, we can change that into seconds like this:

$$2 \text{ minutes} + 30 \text{ seconds} = 150 \text{ seconds}$$

By using clocks and timers, we get better at understanding all the different ways to look at time!
