think it’s best to work with you
Leonard though I’m going to use a
watch.

DEVELOPMENT

Examples: 1 Which time unit Ask learners to mention the Learners will mention the
(seconds; minutes; hours; days; measuring units of time they measuring units of time they
weeks) would be best to use for the
following? The time taken by an
athlete to run 100 m
Example 2:
The time taken to walk 1 km is (15
s; 15 min; 15 h; 1 d)
Ans: 15 min
know from the smallest to the
largest.
I will also do some examples
with learners on the
chalkboard and explain to
them on how to go on
working with measurement
and estimation of time.
know from the smallest to the
largest starting with seconds.
Learners will write down the
examples and ask where they
are not clear.

REINFORCEMENT
