Time - 24-Hour Clock - Worksheet
Maths Resource Description
The worksheet on the 24-hour clock aims to enhance children's understanding of time, particularly in distinguishing between a.m. and p.m. times. It presents a series of exercises where children are tasked with solving reasoning questions using an analogue clock and determining the veracity of given statements. The worksheet introduces children to the concept of the 24-hour digital clock, encouraging them to observe both analogue and digital clocks at various times of the day. This comparison helps them to identify similarities and differences between the two formats. Students are then asked to match times, such as 'o'clock' and 'half past', to the correct representation on both analogue and digital clocks.
Further exercises on the worksheet challenge children to match times at five-minute intervals to the corresponding clocks. They must also correct mismatches, such as 21:00 being incorrectly labelled as '7 o'clock in the morning', and 07:00 as '9 o'clock in the evening'. The worksheet includes a reasoning and problem-solving section where children can demonstrate their understanding of the 24-hour clock by answering true or false to statements about how times are displayed on analogue and digital clocks. Additionally, they are asked to consider whether statements made by a character named Rosie about the clocks showing the same time of day are accurate. This activity not only tests their time-telling skills but also introduces them to the concept of equivalent fractions in a practical context.
