Time | Review Lesson
Students review how to read, compare, convert, and solve simple problems involving time in 24-hour and 12-hour formats. The lesson is short, practical, and focused on reinforcing everyday time skills.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Analog clock | A clock with hands that show the time. |
| Digital clock | A clock that shows time using numbers. |
| 12-hour format | A way of writing time using a.m. and p.m. |
| 24-hour format | A way of writing time from 00:00 to 23:59. |
| Elapsed time | The amount of time that passes between two events. |
| Convert | To change from one unit or form to another. |
Display two or three times on the board in both 12-hour and 24-hour formats. Ask quick questions such as 'What time is this?' and 'Which is later?'
Answer orally, explain how they know, and identify a.m. or p.m. when needed.
Briefly review how to convert between minutes and hours and how to find elapsed time using a number line or simple counting strategy.
Listen, copy one example, and ask questions if unclear.
Work through 3–4 simple problems with the class, such as converting 120 minutes to hours and finding the time 45 minutes after 2:15 p.m.
Solve with the teacher, then share answers with a partner.
Give a short worksheet or board task with easy review questions on reading time, conversion, and elapsed time.
Complete the questions independently and check work when finished.
Review answers with the class and correct common mistakes.
Self-correct and explain one answer aloud.
End by asking students to state one thing they can now do with time, such as convert minutes to hours or find elapsed time. Remind them that time skills are useful in daily life and in later math work.
Formative assessment will come from student responses during questioning, guided practice accuracy, and the short independent practice task.
Complete 5–8 review questions on reading time, converting units of time, and finding elapsed time. Include at least one question in 12-hour format and one in 24-hour format.
