How do you teach students units of measurement? This Miniclip is designed to show how to tell time to the minute and investigate the relationship between units of time.

Units of Time

This Miniclip investigates the features of analogue clocks and the relationships between units of time.

It explains the second, minute, and hour hands on the clock face. It covers how many seconds are in a minute, how many minutes are in an hour, and how many minutes are between each numeral for the minute and hour hand.

It also teaches students how to utilise skip counting by 5 when counting minutes and includes new vocabulary such as revolution.
