Convert hours to minutes

Activity Instructions

Write several different amounts or numbers of hours on index cards. Have students take turns picking a card. They then use the mat to convert the number of hours to minutes. Have them start above the 12 on the mat, walk the full perimeter, and say, “60 minutes” when they get back to the start. Have them do this as many times as their card says, adding 60 each time they complete a lap.

For 4 hours, they would walk around once – โ€œ60 minutes.โ€ Twice – โ€œ120 minutes.” Three times – โ€œ180 minutes.โ€ Four times – โ€œ240 minutes.โ€ Say, “Four hours is two hundred forty minutes.”
