About Year 1 Comparing Time Worksheets
Can your child compare different times? These free Year 1 comparing time worksheets help children understand the concepts of earlier, later, faster, and slower. Perfect for helping children aged 5-6 develop practical time understanding.
This week's five worksheets focus on comparing times and durations. Your child will work out which events happen earlier or later, compare how long activities take, and solve problems about sequences of events throughout the day. These worksheets develop the reasoning skills your child needs for the Year 1 curriculum.
