 Lesson : 28
Topic : Time
Learning area : Duration
Learning objective : Use and apply knowledge of time to find the duration
Learning outcome : Solve problems involving time duration in fractions
and/or decimals of hours, minutes and seconds
Previous knowledge : Student have learnt basic calculation of time and
multiplication of fraction from group of objects
Problem : Pupils have problems to relate time with everyday
problem
Vocabulary : Time, Duration of time

SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES

Example 1

• Make use of their previous knowledge in fraction to complete the

diagram below.

One whole
One half
One third

• Teacher shows an empty table to the pupils and explains that each
segment represents 60 minutes or 1 hour. The teacher then asks the
pupils if the segment is divided into two or three or four equal parts ?

• If the segment is divided into two equal parts, each part will equal to 30
minutes, or 1 hour (half an hour), which means 30 out of 60 minutes
2
(i.e. 1 X 60 minutes = 30 minutes)

 • If the segment is divided into three equal parts, each part will equal to 1
3
hour (one third of an hour) or equal to 20 minutes , which means 20 out
of 60 minutes ( i.e. 1 X 60 minutes = 20 minutes )

• Teacher then asks the student to fill in the table with the correct value (in
minutes) equivalent to the fraction stated

Guided questions

e.g.

1. How many minutes are there in an hour?

2. By looking at the table, state how many minutes are there in 1 hour?
5
3
3. Explain how to find the answer for hour?

Example 2

Addition involving fraction of hour

a. When adding any fraction of an hour, it is easier to add in minutes rather

than adding in fraction form.
