Time

• Consider the difference between digital and analogue time formats, and how to convert between them effectively.
• Understand that there are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day, 7 days in a week, 30/31 days in a month (28 or 29 in February), 365 days in a non-leap year and 366 days in a leap year.
• Be able to calculate the duration of time between two given points, either on a digital clock, analogue clock or using a timetable. Make sure to also consider when this crosses over into a new day.
• Become well versed at using the 12-hour clock and the 24-hour clock (military time). Know how to convert between them.
• Practice solving word problems involving time calculations. This could be in the context of travel times, schedule planning, or other real-world situations.
• Become familiar with the concept of time zones. Be able to convert GMT to other time zones.
• Learn how to calculate speed, distance, and time using the formula: speed = distance/time. Understand units of measure for each component and how to convert between them.
• Understand the concept of ‘elapsed time’. Be able to calculate the number of days between two given dates and the time that has elapsed from one time point to another.
• Be able to apply your knowledge of time in solving problems relating to scale drawings and models, such as estimating the time to travel a certain distance on a map.
• Be familiar with timeline diagrams and how they are used to show sequences of events, durations, and intervals of time.
• Practice working out time intervals in several contexts, such as the duration of a video, time spent on a task, or the gap between scheduled events.
• Understand and be able to apply the concept of average speed in the context of travel time. This involves knowing how to calculate total distance and total time, then using the formula: average speed = total distance / total time.
