Lesson Development (20 minutes)

Understanding Clocks (5 minutes)

• Analogue Clocks: Draw an analogue clock on the whiteboard. Point out the hour and minute hands and discuss how to read time.
• Digital Clocks: Show a digital clock image. Explain the difference between the hour and minute formats.

Converting Time Formats (10 minutes)

• 12-Hour vs. 24-Hour Format:

  • Explain 12-hour time (e.g., 2:00 PM) and introduce 24-hour time (e.g., 14:00).
  • Provide examples and have students practice converting times.

  Example:

  • Convert 3:15 PM to 24-hour format.

    • Answer: 15:15

  • Convert 17:45 to 12-hour format.

    • Answer: 5:45 PM

Solving Time Duration Problems (5 minutes)

• Present a scenario where students calculate the duration between two times.

  Example Problem:

  • If a movie starts at 6:30 PM and ends at 8:00 PM, how long is the movie?
    • Discussion: 1 hour and 30 minutes.

  Provide similar problems and allow students to solve them.
