This Year 1 time block helps pupils develop understanding of sequencing, dates and analogue time through practical and visual activities. Pupils use familiar routines and real-life contexts to build confidence with time vocabulary and early clock skills.
The unit introduces key language such as before, after, next, yesterday and tomorrow before moving on to days of the week, months of the year and simple chronological order. Pupils then learn to read, write and compare time to the hour and half past using analogue clock faces and practical discussion activities.
Aligned with the White Rose small steps and the Year 1 National Curriculum, this block supports whole-class teaching, guided maths groups and independent practice throughout the Summer term.
If you are looking for Year 1 time worksheets, telling the time to the hour and half past activities or a complete Year 1 time unit, this block provides planning, slides and differentiated maths resources ready to teach.
