KS2 Time Worksheets
All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Maths.
What do KS2 time worksheets cover?
Time worksheets for KS2 develop skills in reading both analogue and digital clocks, converting between 12-hour and 24-hour time formats, and calculating durations and time intervals. Children progress from telling time to the nearest minute in Year 3 to solving complex problems involving timetables and elapsed time in upper KS2.
The worksheets also cover practical applications such as calculating journey times, working with TV schedules, and understanding am/pm notation. Multi-stage problems require children to apply multiple time concepts together, which strengthens their problem-solving abilities and prepares them for real-world time calculations they'll encounter daily.
Which year groups are these time worksheets suitable for?
These worksheets are designed specifically for KS2, covering Years 3, 4, 5, and 6. Each year group builds systematically on prior learning, ensuring children develop mastery at an appropriate pace. Year 3 focuses on reading time to the minute and understanding analogue and digital notation, whilst Year 4 introduces converting between 12-hour and 24-hour formats.
Years 5 and 6 extend these skills to more complex calculations involving time intervals, timetables, and multi-step problems. The progression aligns with National Curriculum expectations, so you can confidently select worksheets that match your class's current attainment and challenge pupils working at greater depth.
How do children learn 24-hour clock conversion?
Converting between 12-hour and 24-hour time is introduced in Year 4 and practised throughout upper KS2. Children learn that times from midnight to noon remain largely the same in 24-hour format, whilst pm times require adding 12 to the hours. For example, 3:30pm becomes 15:30.
Worksheets provide structured practice with both conversions, starting with whole hours before moving to times with minutes. Common misconceptions are addressed through varied examples, and answer sheets allow children to check their understanding immediately. This skill proves essential for reading timetables, understanding digital displays, and interpreting information in real-life contexts.
Do the time worksheets include answers?
Yes, every time worksheet includes a complete answer sheet. This makes marking efficient whether you're assessing a whole class or supporting a child working independently at home. Answer sheets show all solutions clearly, allowing children to self-check their work and identify areas where they need further practice.
The worksheets are provided as downloadable PDFs, so you can print copies as needed or distribute them digitally. Having answers readily available means you can focus on addressing misconceptions rather than spending time calculating solutions, and children receive immediate feedback that supports their learning progression.
