What to do
Have you ever said that you can’t make your bed because you don’t have time? Will this excuse hold up to the test of time?
- Choose four cards.
- Sort the cards by the amount of time each activity will take.
- Guess how many seconds it will take you to do one of the activities. Then do the activity while someone times you.
- Use what you’ve learned to make a guess about another activity.
What to ask
- How did you sort the cards?
- Did it take a longer of shorter amount of time than you thought?
- Why do some things seem like they take a long time?
- Why do other things seem to make “time fly?”
- Was measuring time in minutes the best unit for the activities?
What’s next?
- Keep a log of how long it takes you to get ready for school.
- Make a list of things that go by fast and things that go by slow. Time them and compare how fast or how slow they are.
