Time
Method
Time - Part one
1. am – latest time = 11.59am
pm – latest time = 23:59pm
2. 12 hour – 24 hour = + 12 in the hours if pm, hours stay the same if am
3. 24 hour – 12 hour = - 12 in the hours if pm, hours stay the same if am
Time - Part two
1. Use a number line method. Is it one jump or more than one jump?
2. One jump – doesn’t cross into the next hour
3. Two jumps – first jump to the next hour then add the remaining minutes
4. Remember we do not use a column method for time
5. Taking it to the next hour is not always the most efficient – can you just add/subtract the hours and minutes?
