Time

Use the class clock on Topmarks maths to convert these digital times into analogue times.

11:30             9:15              4:00             2:45

Then do the same with these examples.

10.23             12.47           8.03              7: 36

Ask someone at home to show you an analogue time (clock with hands) and using the teaching clock show them it on a digital clock. If you want to extend yourself use 24 hour clock. 24 hour clock is how we tell the difference between 6 o’clock in the morning and 6 o’clock in the evening. Parents, here is a link to a great website that has lots of helpful hints and activities for helping with all sorts of subjects, including time.
