Description

This fun ‘hands on’ worksheet supports students when learning about duration. Students colour in each picture at the bottom, carefully cut each out and rearrange them in order from the least amount of time it would take to the most amount of time it would take. This can be a great whole class, independent or small group activity that encourages class and group discussion around the concept of duration. Let us know how you implemented this resource!
