**Background**: "Measurements are one of the ways that help us describe the world. It is through time that learners will be able to distinguish between words like arrival, departure and others. Therefore, finding duration must be emphasised especially when it involves conversion of minutes to hours or vice versa." **Subject Competences** (The learner): "Reads timetables and finds durations; Solves problems involving time in 12 and 24-hour clock" **Language Competences** (The learner): "Reads timetables and durations; Explains timetables" **Content**: "Timetables (travel, class and work timetable)" **Suggested Activities**: "Reading timetables; Finding duration; Solving problems involving time" **Guidance to the Teacher**: "Display charts showing different timetables and encourage learners to discuss questions related to duration. Emphasise the correct way of reading and writing time."
