Quarter of an hour

How long is 15 minutes? The children discuss what they do in that time from their lives, such as walk to school; playtime. There are links with one-minute activities, showing how these can relate to 15-minute tasks. For example, I can make 10 snowballs in one minute, so I can make 150 in 15 minutes. 15 minutes is counted on the clock by counting the little lines, and this is related to quarter of the clock face and how this is half of a half. Sabrina explores how to show quarter past on the clock. We see the clock as she times Tempo while he performs short excerpts from his performance in his quest for 15 minutes of fame, from 11 o鈥檆lock to quarter past 11.
