### Lesson Plan: Mathematics for Year 2 - Measurement
**Topic**: Measurement - Time, Money, Length
**Duration**: 1 hour
**Objective**:
- Students will be able to read and tell the time to the nearest five minutes using an analogue clock.
- Students will learn to identify and count the value of coins and notes.
- Students will understand how to measure length using standard units (centimetres and metres).
**Materials Needed**:
- Analogue clock models or printed clock faces
- Real or play money (coins and notes)
- Rulers and measuring tapes
- Whiteboard and markers
- Worksheets for time, money, and length measurement activities
- Scissors, glue, and pencils
- Measuring cards or objects of varied lengths

### Lesson Structure:
**1. Introduction (10 minutes):**
- Briefly introduce the topic of measurement and its three key aspects: time, money, and length.
- Explain the importance of learning to measure time, manage money, and measure length in everyday life.
- Engage students with questions like: "Who can tell me what time it is?" or "What is your favourite coin?"
**2. Time Measurement (15 minutes):**
- **Explanation**:
- Demonstrate how to read time on an analogue clock, focusing on the hour and minute hands.
- Show examples of telling time to the nearest five minutes (e.g., 1:05, 1:10, 1:15).
- **Activity**:
- Use printed clock faces and ask students to draw the hands to show specific times that you call out.
- Partner activity: Students work in pairs to quiz each other on reading times shown on clock faces.
- **Assessment**: Quick-fire round where you show a time on an analogue clock and students write the time on mini whiteboards.
**3. Money Measurement (15 minutes):**
- **Explanation**:
- Show real or play money and explain the value of different coins and notes.
- Discuss the concept of adding different coins to reach a total amount.
- **Activity**:
- Distribute sets of different coins and notes to small groups.
- Give scenarios (like buying an item costing 35p), and students must combine different coins to match the amount.
- Craft activity: Students create “shopping lists” and the total cost, then find the correct combination of coins/notes to pay.
- **Assessment**: Present a short quiz, where students solve simple money exercises (e.g., what coins to use to make £1).
**4. Length Measurement (15 minutes):**
- **Explanation**:
- Introduce the concept of measuring length using rulers and measuring tapes.
- Show how to measure objects in centimetres and metres.
- **Activity**:
- Measure different classroom objects (like books, desks) using rulers and measuring tapes.
- Measuring game: Provide students with measuring cards or objects, and they guess then measure the length correctly.
- **Assessment**: Complete a worksheet where students have to measure images of objects on paper using a ruler.
**5. Conclusion (5 minutes):**
- Recap the key points from each section (time, money, length).
- Ask questions to reinforce learning, such as "What time is it if both the hands are on 12?" or "Which coins make £1?"
- Provide feedback on their activities and highlight good practices noticed during the lesson.
**6. Homework (Optional)**:
- Distribute a worksheet with mixed exercises on telling time, counting money, and measuring length for practice at home.

**Resources for Additional Learning**:
- Links to educational games and videos related to time, money, and measurement.
- Recommended books and online resources for further practice.
