To help Year 7 students learn how to convert time, we can use fun and exciting activities. These activities make it easier to understand time conversions and make learning enjoyable!

1. Time Conversion Board Games

• Make a board game where students can move their pieces by answering time conversion questions correctly.
• For example, if they have to convert 120 minutes into hours, they would calculate it like this: 120 ÷ 60 = 2 hours.

2. Flashcard Challenges

• Use flashcards with different time conversions. Here are some examples:
  • 1 hour = 60 minutes
  • 7 days = 1 week
• Students can quiz each other with these flashcards to help them remember.

3. Real-World Scenarios

• Create real-life situations, like planning a trip. Ask students to figure out the total travel time using different measurements.
• For example, if a trip takes 240 minutes, how many hours is that? (240 ÷ 60 = 4 hours).

4. Time Conversion Relay Races

• Divide students into groups and have them solve time conversion problems in a relay race style.
• Each team has to convert 5 different time units (like days to hours or weeks to minutes) to win.

Fun Fact

• About 70% of students find time conversions tricky. Using these fun activities can help them remember much better, with improvements of up to 50%!
