WHEN TO USE HALF
AND QUARTER
There are 60 minutes in one hour. If we divide them
into two, we have two parts of 30 minutes, that is a
half. If we divide them into four, we have four parts of
15 minutes those four parts are called quarters.

PM & There are 24 hours in a day.
Hours 1 through 11 are pretty
simple. For hours 0 through 12,

AM
we call this “A.M.”. So for hour 7
(in the morning), we say “It’s
seven A.M.” (7:00 A.M.). For hours
12 to 24, we call this “P.M.”.
NOON At hour 12, we say it’s “noon”. You
also sometimes hear people say

MIDNIGHT “midday”. At hour 24, we say it’s

“midnight”. “Noon” is 12:00 P.M.
And “midnight” is 12:00 A.M. (The

MIDDAY start of a new day or 24 hour

cycle.)
 In the next slide you will see a 'To do' list
You will organize the activities assigning a

LET'S HAVE specific time to each one.

After everybody finishes, the teacher will select a
student (student A). That student will select an

SOME
activity from his/her list and tell at what time is
he/she having this activity.
Then student A will select another student and

PRACTICE!
ask at what time is he doing that activity.
Eg.: ''I am having breakfast at 9:15am.At what
time are you having breakfast?''
If the activity and time match, they get both 1
point. If they do not match. Student B will
continue with the game selecting another
activity and another student.
