Australian Curriculum Version 9 Says:
Solve problems involving the duration of time including situations involving “am” and “pm” and conversions between units of time.
What this means
Calculating the elapsed time between two events. Converting between times.
- Students need to consider am and pm times when the event goes past noon or midnight.
- Students use the relationships between times e.g. 60 seconds = 1 minute, 60 minutes = 1 hour and so on to convert between time units.
Tips
- Often elapsed time questions will show a start time in analog form and a finish time in digital form (or vice versa). am and pm notation is very important.
- Number lines are a great way of calculating elapsed time.
