Telling the time · Year 2
In Year 2 you learn: quarter past, quarter to and 5 minutes.
We tell the time with analogue clocks (with hands) and digital clocks, and we plan our days with hours, minutes, days and months. Working out how long something takes — a film, a journey, a lesson — is one of the most useful bits of maths there is.
Key facts
- April, June, September and November have 30 days. February has 28 (29 in a leap year). The rest have 31.
