Lesson Introduction: The Time Adventure

Welcome to the Time Adventure!

Good morning, young mathematicians! Today, we’re about to embark on an exciting journey through the concept of time. Imagine you’ve just received a magical time-travel device. This device not only allows you to travel to different moments in history but also helps you master the art of telling time!

The Mysterious Time Machine

Before we dive into the details, let’s activate our imaginations. Close your eyes for a moment and picture this:

• You step into your time machine, which is covered in buttons and dials. You see the words "past" and "future" displayed on a glowing screen.
• You set the dial to 3 hours into the future, and suddenly, your surroundings change into a bustling futuristic city!

But wait! Your time machine has a tiny glitch – it requires you to solve a series of time-related riddles before you can safely return!

The Challenge Ahead

This is where our adventure begins! Throughout today’s lesson, we’ll solve a variety of fun problems about:

• Understanding hours and minutes
• Converting between 12-hour and 24-hour formats
• Adding and subtracting time to plan trips in our imaginary adventures

Are you ready for the challenge? Let’s crank up the time machine and become experts in the magical world of time!

Let’s Get Started!

To kick things off, grab your notebooks and pens. We’re beginning with our first riddle:

If it’s 2:15 PM now, what time will it be in 2 hours and 45 minutes?

Work together with your neighbour, and let’s see how quickly we can solve it!

Note: Stay tuned, because at the end of our lesson, we’ll have the chance to travel to our favourite historical era, based on how well we solve our time puzzles. So, let's get those brains moving and start our Time Adventure!
