Seconds

Seconds are a unit of time measurement in the International System of Units (SI). They are used to measure very short periods of time, such as in sports timing, cooking, and scientific experiments.

Conversion

1 second is equal to 1/60 minute or 1/3600 hour. It is also equal to 1000 milliseconds.

Usage

Seconds are commonly used in everyday life for timing short activities, such as running races, cooking food, and waiting for traffic lights.

Study Tips

Practice converting between seconds, minutes, and hours.
Use a stopwatch or timer to measure short intervals of time.
Look for real-life examples of using seconds in different activities.

Connections to the Grade 6 Focal Points (NCTM)

Number and Operations: Students' work in dividing fractions shows them that they can express the result of dividing two whole numbers as a fraction (viewed as parts of a whole). Students then extend their work in grade 5 with division of whole numbers to give mixed number and decimal solutions to division problems with whole numbers. They recognize that ratio tables not only derive from rows in the multiplication table but also connect with equivalent fractions. Students distinguish multiplicative comparisons from additive comparisons.
