Teaching guide

What students learn

Use how days, hours, minutes and seconds relate to estimate and compare how long events take.

Generated and checked in code, so it is correct.

Watch out for

Subtracting times like plain numbers (treating 60 minutes as 100) and losing track when crossing the hour.

Sets A-F are the same worksheet with different questions - print any (or all) for fresh practice.
