Time - Analogue to Digital 12 hour- Presentation

In Lesson 8, students are introduced to the concept of converting times from analogue to digital format within a 12-hour clock system. The session starts by encouraging students to discuss the similarities and differences between analogue and digital time displays, prompting them to give examples. As the lesson unfolds, a series of activities guide the students through the process of reading analogue clocks and translating these times into digital format. The activities range from identifying the time shown on an analogue clock and expressing it in terms like '15 minutes past 2' or '11 minutes to 6', to more complex tasks that involve calculating the digital time after a given duration has passed, such as determining the time on a digital watch 48 minutes after a set departure time.

Further into the lesson, reasoning exercises challenge the students to correct mistakes in time conversion, such as when the minutes and hours are incorrectly placed in the digital format. They also explore patterns within the 12-hour digital clock, such as identifying times that read the same forwards and backwards. In addition, practical scenarios are presented where students must decide which trains Malachi could catch based on his arrival time at the station and the departure times listed. Independent work tasks reinforce learning by asking students to fill in missing information, convert times into digital format, complete tables with digital times, and suggest activities that could correspond to the times shown. The lesson encourages critical thinking and practical application of converting analogue to digital time, with a focus on understanding the significance of a.m. and p.m. and efficiently counting minutes past the hour.
