Read with an adult. Take your time. You can say, point, draw or write your answer.
1 Let's look together
Events happen in an order. First we put on socks. Next we put on shoes. We use before and after to explain the order.
Yesterday is the day before today. Tomorrow is the day after today. Morning, afternoon and evening are parts of a day.
First: socksNext: shoesThen: go outside
Look, point and talk with your adult.
2 Watch how I do it
I eat breakfast in the morning. Lunch is later. I do not say breakfast happened after lunch.
3 Your turn
You plant a seed, water it and later see a shoot. What happened first?
Have a go before opening the answer.
Let's check together
Planting the seed came first.
4 Try it away from the page
Draw three things you did today. Tell them in order. Compare two short actions: which was quicker? Use seconds with adult timing.
Open your writing and drawing pad
Write, draw or show your working. Use a mouse, pen or finger. This pad is not a submitted answer.
Not saved to your account. Download your drawing as PNG and your typed notes as TXT before leaving or refreshing. They are separate files. Do not enter private information.
Open a picture saved on this device to draw on it again. Opening replaces the drawing, but Undo can restore it. PNG only, up to 4 MB and 4096 × 4096 pixels. The picture stays in this browser; it is not uploaded. Paper lines in a saved picture become part of that picture.
Clear the drawing? Your typed notes will stay. You can undo this action.
Your pad is empty.
Open a UTF-8 TXT file from this device, up to 40 KB and 10,000 characters. It stays in this browser. Opening can be undone until you type again. Downloads keep a new copy; they do not change the file you opened.
Replace the notes on this page with the opened file? Download the current notes first if you want to keep them.
Typed notes are not submitted answers.
Explore and practise freely. Opening this lesson or using the writing pad does not save completion or a score.
Adult notes · prerequisites, safety and coverage
Prerequisite: oral sequencing. Introduce seconds, minutes and hours through meaningful actions; do not require clock arithmetic yet.
Use large counters, blocks and paper before symbols. Revisit a lesson until the child can show and explain the idea. Numbers grow from 0–10 to 20, then 100; these pages are not a one-sitting course.
Compare lengths, heights, mass, capacity and time.
Measure and record these quantities through practical work.
