A finished Year 2 pupil page. The pupil’s writing is shown in blue and their circles in red. It is also the answer key: A 9 o’clock, 7 slabs; B half past 10, 4 slabs; C 1 o’clock, 2 slabs; D half past 3, 5 slabs; order C, B, D, A; save steps camera 1, type a name 2, save 3.
Name: Mali Class: Class 2 Date:
Look at the 4 photos on the pretend tablet. For each photo, write the time on the clock. Then count how many slabs long the shadow is.
| Photo | Time | Shadow length |
|---|---|---|
| A | 9 o’clock | 7 slabs |
| B | half past 10 | 4 slabs |
| C | 1 o’clock | 2 slabs |
| D | half past 3 | 5 slabs |
All 4 times are read correctly, including half past. The shadow lengths 7, 4, 2 and 5 are counted in slabs, a non-standard unit, starting from the bottom of the cone. Evidences numeracy: read o’clock and half past, and measure with non-standard units.
Write the photo letters from the shortest shadow to the longest.
At what time was the shadow shortest? 1 o’clock
C, B, D, A is correct (2, 4, 5, 7 slabs). The shortest shadow is at 1 o’clock, around the middle of the day when the Sun is highest. Evidences numeracy: compare and order lengths.
Why is it best? Tick.
✓ It tells me what is in the photo and when it was taken.
It is the shortest name.
The pupil chose the name that says what the photo shows and when, so it is easy to find later. Evidences DCF: save files using a file name that is easy to search for.
Photo B: shadow half past 10
Photo C: shadow 1 o’clock
Photo D: shadow half past 3
Each name follows the same pattern (what, then when), so the 4 files sort neatly and can be told apart. Evidences DCF: choose appropriate, searchable file names.
Number the steps for saving a photo: 1, 2, 3.
A clear folder name that says what is inside, and the save steps in order: take the photo, name it, save it. Evidences DCF: save and organise digital work.
Mrs Hughes asks for the photo with the longest shadow. Which file name will you look for?
shadow 9 o’clock
Would IMG_2043 help you find it quickly? yes no
The pupil used their measurements (the longest is photo A, 7 slabs) to pick the right file by its name. Evidences DCF: retrieve saved work, and numeracy: compare lengths.
