Converting Days to Years and Vice Versa
I. Learning Objectives
Cognitive: Convert time measure from larger to smaller units and vice versa (days to week,
days to years, weeks to years)
Psychomotor: Convert years to decade – decade to century
Affective: Cooperate in group activities
A. Preparatory Activities
1. Drill
3. Motivation.
Group the pupils into two. Give each group ordinary year calendar and a leap year calendar.
Give them activity sheet that contains the following directions.
B. Developmental Activities
1. Presentation

2. How many days are there in one week?
7 days = 1 week
3. How many days are there in one year?
365 days = 1 year
366 days = 1 leap year
4. How many weeks are there in one month?
4 weeks
5. How many weeks are there in one year?
52 weeks
b. Show the cutout of years i.e. 2008 – 2009. The teacher may write them on cartolina
strips.
c. How many months are there in 2 years? 24 months How did you get 24 months?
12 x 2 = 24
There are 36 months. How many years will there be? 3 years? How did you get 3
years?
3 6 12 = 3
There are 21 days. How many weeks will there be? 3 weeks? How did you get 3 weeks?
21 7 = 3
How many days are there in 2 years? How did you get 730?
365 x 2 = 730
2. Guided Practice:
Give each pupil name of months. What are you holding now?
Check according to the cards they are holding. Give each pupil a card with the words “One
Week”. What’s your name now?
1 decade – 10 years
2 decades – 20 years
3 decades – 30 years
Check! Let the pupils repeat the conversions.
Give each pupil a part of the heart. Then let them look for their partners.
1. months to years
2. years to months
3. weeks to months
4. months to weeks
5. years to days
6. days to years
7. weeks to days
8. days to weeks
9. years to decade
10. years to century
3. Generalization
How do we convert a smaller unit of measure to a bigger unit of measure? How about a
bigger unit to a smaller one? How do we convert years to days? Days to year? W eeks to
year?
3
To convert:
years to days multiply by 365
years to weeks multiply by 52
years to months multiply by 12
decade to years multiply by 10
weeks to days multiply by 7

A. Introduction
1. Drill
3. Motivation.
Post the saying: “TIME IS GOLD”. What does this saying mean? How are you going to
use your time? Do you also have time schedule in your home? Do you follow it? Why?
B. Developmental Activities
1. Presentation
a. Show a real clock. Guide the pupils in observing the movements of the clockhands.
Let the pupils observe again to verify their observation. Ask: How many seconds is
one round of the second hand? How many seconds is equivalent to one round of the
second hand? What is equal to 60 seconds?
So 1 minute = 60 seconds
6
Manipulate the clock. Move the minute hand from 1 to 12. Repeat the process.
60 minutes = 1 hour
Now get a model clock. Move the hour and minute hand from 1 to 12.
How many hours is equal to one round of the minute and hour hands?
12 hours
One half day is from 1:00 AM to 12:00 noon or from 1:00 PM to 12:00 midnight.
If the minute and hour hands make two rounds, how many hours will it be?
24 hours
60 seconds = 1 minute
60 minutes = 1 hour
3 600 seconds = 1 hour
24 hours = 1 day
1 440 minutes = 1 day

How did we change:
Which are the larger units of time? smaller? What should we do when we change a
smaller unit to a larger unit?
5 minutes = 300 seconds 5 x 60 = 300
5 hours = 300 minutes 5 x 60 = 300
5 days = 120 hours 5 x 24 = 120
How do we change larger unit to a smaller unit?
