Time - 24-hour clock - Worksheet

The worksheet provides an engaging opportunity for children to delve into the concept of the 24-hour clock, contrasting it with the traditional 12-hour analogue format. Initially, students continue to refine their understanding of a.m. and p.m. times by solving reasoning questions and determining the truthfulness of statements related to analogue clocks. The worksheet is designed to guide children through their first encounter with a 24-hour digital clock. They are encouraged to observe both analogue and digital clocks at different times throughout the day, fostering an understanding of the similarities and differences between the two time-telling methods. The task set for the students involves matching times to both analogue and digital clocks, with a focus on 'o'clock' and 'half past' times, as well as more precise five-minute intervals.

Further exercises on the worksheet aim to enhance fluency and precision in reading clocks. Students are tasked with pairing written times, such as 'quarter past one in the afternoon' or 'twenty minutes to six in the evening', with the corresponding times displayed on analogue and digital clocks. This not only reinforces their grasp of the 24-hour format but also hones their ability to comprehend various ways of expressing time. Additionally, the worksheet includes a reasoning and problem-solving section where children are challenged to verify statements about the times shown on clocks and to explore the concept of equivalent fractions in a contextually relevant manner. This comprehensive approach ensures that students not only become proficient in reading the 24-hour clock but also develop critical thinking skills in the process.
