Help your students develop their understanding of time with this flexible Time Match resource! These engaging worksheets support students in learning how to convert and match different units of time, helping them build confidence and fluency with time concepts.

Two styles of worksheets are included to suit a range of learning needs and classroom contexts. One version invites students to draw a line to match the units of time, encouraging precision and visual discrimination. The second version is a hands-on cut and paste activity, giving students an opportunity to interact physically with the content and reinforce their learning through movement and placement.

Time Match is perfect for consolidating understanding of time units such as seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years. It can be used during explicit teaching, as part of your maths rotations, or for independent practise and revision.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Practise converting between different units of time
• ✅ Build fluency with the relationships between units of time
• ✅ Strengthen visual discrimination and matching skills
• ✅ Promote hands-on learning and active engagement
• ✅ Support both independent and collaborative learning

What’s Included:

• Draw-and-match worksheet: - Students draw a line to match corresponding units of time
• Cut-and-paste worksheet: - Students cut out time units and paste them next to their matching equivalent

Materials Needed:

• Printed Time Match worksheets (draw-and-match or cut-and-paste style)
• Pencils for drawing lines or writing answers
• Scissors and glue sticks (for the cut-and-paste version)

How to Use:

1. Print and distribute the worksheets according to your students' needs.
2. Introduce or review key time units and how they relate to each other (e.g. 60 seconds in a minute, 24 hours in a day).
3. Students complete either the draw-and-match or cut-and-paste activity:
   • Draw a line from each time unit to its matching equivalent
   • Or cut out the time units and paste them next to their match
4. Review answers as a class to reinforce correct understanding and discuss any misconceptions.

Ideas for Classroom Use:

• 💡 Use as a whole-class consolidation task during your time unit.
• 💡 Include in maths rotations as a hands-on time conversion activity.
• 💡 Set as an independent practise or early finisher activity.
• 💡 Use for formative assessment to check students’ understanding of time relationships.

Top Teacher Tips:

• 💛 Model the conversion of different time units before students begin the activity.
• 💛 Encourage students to think aloud or explain their reasoning as they match each time unit.
• 💛 Differentiate by providing the cut-and-paste version for younger learners or those needing extra support.
• 💛 Use the completed worksheets to create a time units anchor chart for ongoing reference in the classroom.

Time Match is a simple and effective way to build confidence and fluency with time conversions. It’s the perfect addition to your maths program, supporting your students in developing a clear understanding of how different units of time relate to each other!
