Teaching guide

What students learn

Compare 12-hour and 24-hour time and solve practical problems that convert between them.

How to teach it

Line up 12- and 24-hour time: after midday, add 12 to the hour (1 pm = 13:00); midnight is 00:00, midday is 12:00. Practise converting both directions.

Worked example
Write 14:20 in 12-hour time (with am or pm).
Answer: 2:20 pm
Why: 14 โˆ’ 12 = 2, so pm

Generated and checked in code, so it is correct.

Watch out for

Adding 12 to morning (am) times, and mishandling 12 am (โ†’ 00:00) and 12 pm (stays 12:00).
