About Time & Money Resources
Time and money resources give Australian primary teachers the tools to teach two of the most practically important measurement topics in primary mathematics. Time and money are areas where mathematical skills connect directly to students' everyday lives, making them highly motivating contexts for learning. The Australian Curriculum: Mathematics develops time and money understanding progressively from Foundation through to Year 6, from reading simple clocks and recognising coins to calculating elapsed time and managing budgets.
TeachBuySell's time and money collection includes analogue and digital clock activities, elapsed time problem-solving tasks, telling the time worksheets, calendar mathematics resources, coin and note recognition activities, money addition and subtraction problems, and budgeting investigations. Resources are available for all year levels, with simpler time and money activities for Foundation and early primary students and more complex problem-solving and real-world application tasks for middle and upper primary.
Time and money are wonderful contexts for connecting mathematics to everyday life. Many of our resources use authentic scenarios such as planning a school event, shopping at a supermarket, or reading a train timetable — giving students meaningful reasons to apply their mathematical skills. Browse our time and money collection to find resources that make these practical topics engaging, relevant, and connected to the real world your students live in.
Frequently Asked Questions
What time concepts do your resources cover?
Our time resources cover reading analogue and digital clocks to the hour, half hour, quarter hour, and minute, as well as AM and PM, elapsed time, 24-hour time, calendar concepts (days, weeks, months, years), and time problem solving — spanning Foundation through to Year 6.
Are there money resources that use Australian coins and notes?
Yes. All of our money resources use Australian coins and notes (5c, 10c, 20c, 50c, $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100), making them directly relevant to Australian students and consistent with the Australian Curriculum.
Can I find elapsed time resources for upper primary students?
Absolutely. We have elapsed time resources for Year 3 through Year 6, including number line strategies, timetable problems, and real-world scenarios that develop students' ability to calculate durations and time intervals.
Are there money resources that involve budgeting and financial literacy?
Yes. Some resources extend beyond simple money recognition and calculation to include budgeting activities, making change in shopping scenarios, and simple financial planning tasks that develop practical money management skills.
Do time and money resources include real-world problem solving?
Many of our resources use authentic real-world contexts such as shopping, timetables, and event planning to give students meaningful contexts for applying their time and money skills.
