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 – “60 minutes.” Twice – “120 minutes.” Three times – “180 minutes.” Four times – “240 minutes.” Say, “Four hours is two hundred forty minutes.”
