Measurement > Time

Australian Curriculum Version 9 Says:

Interpret and use timetables and itineraries to plan activities and determine the duration of events and journeys.

What this means

Reading different timetables.

  • This will be an application of digital time, 12- and 24- hour time and am / pm notation.
  • The new inclusions for this year are the elements of reading off a table and planning for multi-events (e.g., taking a flight then bus) or an event with multiple stages (e.g., a high school daily class timetable).

Tips

  • To read a timetable students will need to be familiar with digital time and how to read a table in general.
  • Calculations of time duration can be difficult due to the non-metric nature of time.
