Estimating Time With First Graders – It Takes Time!
As a primary school teacher, you might have noticed that your students often ask the same questions about time. They want to know when lunchtime is, when they can go outside for recess, and when they can go home. But when you give them an answer, they always ask, “How long is that?” This is because they need help understanding how time works.
That’s why teaching your students how to estimate time is essential. When they learn how long a minute or an hour is, they’ll be better able to plan their day, stay motivated, and manage their time effectively. Without this skill, they might struggle to stay organized and focused, which can lead to problems later on. So, by teaching them about time estimation, you’ll set them up for future success.
