Description
Identifying responsibilities and proactive planning is the ultimate goal when addressing time management skills. Recognizing steps to achieve a goal, like getting a summer job, require backward planning and completing a task, like estimating when a meal will be ready based on prep and cook time, require forward planning.
This 8-day lesson unit addresses the functional math skill of backward and forward time planning to achieve goals and tasks within the vocational, workplace, and daily living environments.
Students will increase their familiarity and understanding of task planning through time management skills activities that are relevant to their current needs and wants.
These lesson plans and time worksheet/activities are designed to help them understand time management and executive functioning so they can apply these concepts confidently.
Through practical application, students will:
- Backward Planning: Identify tasks to complete, estimate time to complete each task, and then reverse plan to determine a start time
- Forward Planning: Identify tasks to complete, estimate time to complete tasks, and use sequential planning to determine an approximate end date or time
By the end of this unit, students will learn to identify short term and long term goals, set times for those goals, and apply task planning by estimating time to complete task to achieve those goals through time worksheets, practice, activities, and assessment to increase their confidence in the skill of time planning.
Created with teens and young adults in mind, students will see themselves through the questions and examples in these lesson plans.

- Plan and calculate the time needed to complete immediate and long-term goals/tasks
