What to Focus On

  • 60 seconds = 1 minute
  • Seconds are used for short activities
  • The seconds hand helps measure short time
  • Use seconds for very short actions
  • Use minutes for longer actions
  • Seconds give more exact measurement than minutes
  • Short tasks can be timed in seconds
  • Longer study tasks can be timed in minutes
  • Different children may have different times for different activities

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Seconds and minutes can be treated as the same unit.

A bigger number always means a longer time, no matter the unit.

In time questions, the smaller number is always subtracted from the bigger number without checking the order of events.

Memory Tips

60 seconds make 1 minute

Seconds are used for very short times

Minutes are used for longer short activities

Race timing gives small differences in seconds
