HOURS MINUTES

In 24 hours clock system, time is written as the number hours that have passed since
midnight. In the 24 hours system the day is not divided into 2 parts of 12 hours each but
it’s a continues periods of 24 hours. The 24 hours system of time written in 4 digits.

2. Performing the Activity

Lets help Jessie find the answer in his problem.

Lets the pupils work by pairs. Give them enough time to answer the activity. Let the
pupils show and explain their findings.
In the 24 hours system of time –time starts at 12 o’clock midnight 00.00 (zero hour )
1 am 0100 hours 2 am 0200 hours 4 am 0400 hours
- In 4:30 am ,how could it write that in 24 hours time format ?
- What time is it in the 24 hours format when it is 8:15 pm?
- What is the equivalent time of 17.24 in the 12 Hours Clock System ?

3. Processing the Activity

A. Let the pupils present their answer
Ask: How did you find the answer?

 5:30 a.m. in a 12 hours clock system will be written as 05.30 (5 and 30 hours) in the 24
hours clock system.
(In 24 hours clock system, the time is written in 4 digits)
 9:15 p.m. in a 12 hours clock system will be 21.15 (20 and 15 hour) in the 24 hours clock
system.
(In transforming 12 hours time format to 24hours time format add 12 to the hours and
keep the minute same.)
 17:24 time is the equivalent of 5:24 time in the 12 hours clock system.
( In transforming 24 hours time format to 12 hours time format subtract 12 from the
hours and keep the minute same )

B. Let’s the pupils to answer the following question:

24 Hours Riddles 1 answers

CHALLENGE A
 I am between 8:00 and 14:30
 I am less than 20 minutes away from the next hour
 I am not a pm time yet, but I shall be one in the next two hours.
 My hour is one away from a multiple of 3
 What time am I? ( 10.42 am )

9:25 7:32 10:42 a.m. 5:17 p.m.

a.m. a.m.
 I am between 13:30 and 19:30
 I am less than 15 minutes away from being a half-past time.
 I am closer to 19:00 than to 15:00
 In 5 hours’ time, I shall still be a pm time.

What time am I? ( answer: 5:17pm )

4. Reinforcing the Concept and Skill

Ask the pupils to do exercises under Get Moving on page ….. LM Grade 5
For further practice, ask the pupils to work on exercises under Keep Moving on
page..LM Grade 5.

5. Summarizing the Lesson

Let the pupils to generalize

 If the two digit to left is less than 12 time shows the morning hours that is before 12 o’
clock noon or am. But if the digits are more than that, means the time is the 12 noon or
pm.
 While converting 12 hours time to 24 hours time, add 12 to the hours and keep the
minutes same
 While converting 24 hours time to 12 hours time, subtract 12 hours from the hours and
keep the minute same.
