Instructions: Work through the activities in order, using the examples to help you. Read each clock carefully and show your answer in the box provided. Remember: 60 minutes make 1 hour, and 24-hour time counts from 00:00 to 23:59.

1

Read the Analogue Clocks

Read each clock face and write the time using the 12-hour clock. The long hand shows the minutes and the short hand shows the hour. Example: a clock showing 4:30 is half past four.

1.What time is shown?
2.What time is shown?
3.What time is shown?

Write Times in 24-Hour Time

Convert each afternoon or evening time from the 12-hour clock to the 24-hour clock. For times after midday, add 12 to the hour; for example, 2:00 pm becomes 14:00. Write each answer with four digits and a colon.

1. 1:00 pm =

2. 3:30 pm =

3. 6:15 pm =

4. 8:45 pm =

5. 11:20 pm =

How Much Time Has Passed?

Find the time that has passed between each pair of times. Count on in convenient steps, such as to the next hour and then on to the finish time. Example: from 2:40 to 3:10 is 20 minutes to 3:00, then 10 more minutes: 30 minutes.

1. From 9:00 am to 10:00 am:

2. From 10:15 am to 10:45 am:

3. From 11:30 am to 12:00 noon:

4. From 2:20 pm to 3:00 pm:

5. From 4:45 pm to 5:15 pm:
