Progression Point

Measurement

0.5

• Use of yesterday, today and tomorrow and the ability to name the corresponding days
• Awareness that a clock changes in response to time in a daily cycle

1.0 Standard

… Students recognise the continuity of time and the natural cycles such as day/night and the seasons.

They correctly sequence days of the week.

They use informal units such as heartbeats and hand claps at regular intervals to measure and describe the passage of time.

1.25

• Use of a clock to determine the hour
• Ordering of days, weeks, months and years

1.5

• Knowledge of the relationship between analogue and digital clock

1.75

• Construction of a time line for daily activity and use of a diary for recording daily events
• Drawing of an analogue clock to match a given digital time and of reading an analogue clock to the nearest half hour

2.0 Standard

… Students make, describe and compare measurements of time using informal units.

They use formal units such as hour and minute for time.

They recognise the key elements of the calendar and place in sequence days, weeks and months.

They describe common and familiar time patterns and such as the time, duration and day of regular sport training and tell the time at hours and half-hours using an analogue clock, and to hours and minutes using a digital clock.

2.25

• Use of formal units of measurement; for example, hour, minute and second for time

2.5

• Reading of analogue clocks to the nearest quarter of an hour
• Construction and interpretation of a daily timetable

3.0 Standard

… Students estimate and measure time using appropriate instruments.

They read digital time displays and analogue clock times at five-minute intervals.

They interpret timetables and calendars in relation to familiar events.

4.0 Standard

… Students convert between metric units of length, capacity and time (for example, L–mL, sec–min).

Space

2.5

• Representation of angles formed dynamically; for example, between the hands of a clock or between their own limbs, and explanations of these angles in terms of simple fractions of a complete revolution
