ABSTRACT

In the last chapter I described various attributes of time which I hope will have given you more of an insight into the complexities of the subject. Keeping these thoughts in mind, I suggest you have a go at brainstorming the potential problems you might encounter when teaching time. To help you, you might also cast your mind back to the suggestions made at the beginning of Chapter 6, i.e. think about:

■ the different forms of time described in the previous chapter and any related difficulties; ■ your own experiences of learning the subject; ■ any problems you have encountered when teaching time in the past; ■ observations of, and conversations with, pupils at work and the type of errors they make, recalling, if

possible, any insight you might have into such errors; ■ discussion you might have had with colleagues and other adults; ■ anything you might have read about time.
