Abstract
This paper examines the anecdotal claim of "Not enough time" made by
teachers when expressing their struggle to cover a stipulated syllabus. The study
focuses on the actual experiences of a teacher teaching mathematics to a Year 7 class
in Singapore according to a designated time schedule. The demands of fulfilling
multiple instructional goals within a limited time frame gave rise to numerous
junctures where time pressure was felt. The interactions between ongoing time
consciousness and instructional decisions will be discussed. An examination of the
role played by instructional goals sheds light on the nature and causes of time
pressure situations.
