Time and Temperature Test Wednesday

Our class has been studying time and temperature over the past few weeks. On Wednesday morning we will be having our time and temperature test for this unit, so that we can begin a new unit when we come back from the holidays.

The concepts covered in the test are:


  1. relating units of measurement for time:
    1. 60 seconds in a minute
    2. 60 minutes in an hour
    3. 24 hours in a day
    4. 7 days in a week
    5. about 4 weeks in a month, or about 30 days
    6. 365 days in a year, or 12 months or 52 weeks
  2. telling time to the nearest 5 minutes
  3. reading temperature on thermometers
  4. understanding benchmarks for temperature - in class we say "30 is hot, 20 is nice, 10 is cool, 0 is ice"
In the homework on the sidebar I have attached a time and temperature review. It is only there to assist parents and students in studying for our test, which will be mostly made up of old EQAO questions on time and temperature. You do not have to complete the entire package. Work on the parts that seem most difficult for your child. In grade 3, we tell time to the nearest 5 minutes, so if any of the clocks look like they are pointing to something other than a 5 minute mark, it is actually trying to point to the nearest 5 minute mark. 

This has been a fairly easy unit for students, so I suspect everyone will do well. The review sheets are provided simply if you wish to review with your child. 

Thank you, and good luck!
