Regarding time, the curriculum for Grades 3 and 4 will incorporate various aspects of time-telling. Commencing with Grade 3, students will initially focus on understanding hours and minutes, specifically concentrating on short clock hands, which are represented in distinct colors and sizes. These visual distinctions facilitate students' grasp of time, enabling them to distinguish between daytime and nighttime. Sun and moon symbols are employed for this purpose, offering clarity in determining time intervals and points of the day. Two methods for telling time are introduced: one involves breaking down time into one-hour segments and subsequently adding any remaining minutes, while the other method entails accumulating fractional minute units until they complete an hour, then appending additional minute intervals. Number lines are employed to depict time, aiding students in maintaining accurate timekeeping. When comparing different time values, the key is to standardize the units, ensuring they share a common basis. Moving on to Grade 4, time-telling remains consistent with Grade 3, but there is a supplementary focus on the second hand. Furthermore, students will continue to tackle problems by comparing time intervals, with the added dimension of incorporating months and years into their time calculations, thereby expanding their temporal knowledge.
