**A ready-to-teach Year 6 time problems lesson focused on multi-step reasoning, elapsed time and logical problem solving in KS2 maths.
This lesson is fully standalone and ready to teach, but also works as the second part of a two-lesson sequence on Year 6 time problems.**
This Year 6 maths lesson challenges pupils to solve multi-step time problems involving reasoning, deduction and elapsed time calculations.
Pupils are required to work through contextual problems, calculate durations and use their results to make logical decisions. The focus is on applying time skills in unfamiliar situations and justifying answers based on evidence.
Teachers can use the included Smart Notebook input slides to model strategies clearly and guide pupils through structured examples before independent work.
Pupils then complete a differentiated independent activity designed to support all learners while still providing appropriate challenge. The tasks develop confidence with complex time reasoning, multi-step calculations and SATs-style problem solving.
This resource is ideal for Year 6 SATs revision, KS2 reasoning practice, problem solving lessons, or targeted intervention sessions.
