Hello my wonderful Grade 5 superstar! 👋
I'm Kashef and today we're learning about 12-Hour and 24-Hour Clocks! The 12-hour clock uses AM and PM. The 24-hour clock goes from 00:00 to 23:59 and is used in schedules, trains, and computers. Ready to master both? Let’s go! 🚀
🕒 12-Hour vs 24-Hour
1:00 a.m. — 12:00 noon — 1:00 p.m. — 11:59 p.m.
01:00 — 12:00 — 13:00 — 23:59
🔄 How to Convert
From 12-hour to 24-hour:
- AM times: same as 12-hour (but 12:00 a.m. = 00:00)
- PM times: add 12 to the hour (3:30 p.m. = 15:30)
From 24-hour to 12-hour:
- 00:00 – 11:59 = a.m.
- 12:00 – 23:59 = p.m. (subtract 12 from the hour)
🎯 Let’s Practice!
1. 7:45 p.m. in 24-hour time?
2. 14:30 in 12-hour time?
3. School starts at 08:50. What time is that on a 12-hour clock?
