Challenge your students and build their time measurement skills with the engaging Seconds to Hours Duration Maze Worksheets! These fun-filled worksheets help students improve their understanding of unit conversions as they guide characters on a quest to find hidden gems.

To progress through each maze, students must pair time measurements that share the same duration, converting between seconds, minutes, and hours. As they move through the maze, their understanding of time relationships will deepen, and their problem-solving skills will be strengthened. Each worksheet also includes a bonus question, encouraging students to calculate the total duration of their chosen path.

Seconds to Hours Duration Maze Worksheets includes three differentiated versions. As students progress through the versions, the challenges increase in complexity with the introduction of measurements that include decimal places. Handy answer sheets are included for quick checking and feedback, making this a flexible resource to support your time and measurement lessons.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Convert between seconds, minutes, and hours
• ✅ Understand the relationships between different units of time
• ✅ Apply time conversion skills to problem-solving tasks
• ✅ Strengthen logical reasoning and accuracy with unit conversions
• ✅ Engage in an enjoyable, interactive format to build confidence with time skills

What’s Included:

• Three versions of the duration maze worksheets with increasing difficulty
