#2085623
WELCOME EVERYONE
Do you know what “24-hour time” means?
Today, you will go through this presentation by yourselves and you will learn to:
• Convert 12- and 24-hour time systems.• Identify time differences between 12- and 24-hour systems.• Explain the different time systems. (Optional).
I am here to help you as always,
Mrs Fink.

HARRY RECEIVES A TEXT FROM HIS MUM:
Fink, 2013a. [Image file].
“15:10?” He wonders. “What does that mean?”
THERE ARE 24 HOURS IN A DAY…
24-HOUR TIME SHOWS THE HOURS & MINUTES SINCE MIDNIGHT.
For instance:
At 11am, it has been 11 hours since midnight. So 11am = 11:00.
At 2pm, it has been 14 hours since midnight. So 2pm = 14:00.
24-HOUR TIME SHOWS THE HOURS & MINUTES SINCE MIDNIGHT
A “24-hour clock” identifies the time without the use of AM/PM information that is used in a “12-hour clock”.(e.g.: 11:00am = 11:00).
24-hour time is useful in military, travel and medical industries to avoid confusion.

CONVERTING 12- & 24-HOUR TIMES
LOOK AT THE TABLE →To convert 12- to 24-hour time:
• If “AM” time – edit if necessary to show four digits.
(e.g. 11am = 11:00).
• If “PM” time - add “12”.
(e.g. 2:00pm = 2 + 12 = 14:00).
To convert 24- to 12-hour time:
• If hour > 12, subtract 12 and note as “PM”.
(e.g. 15:00 (greater than 12) = 15 – 12 = 3:00pm).
• If time < 12 - edit if necessary to show four digits.
(e.g. 9:15am = 09:15). *PRINT THIS PAGE

Curriculum
The ‘measurement and geometry’ strand of the Australian curriculum states that grade 5 students must learn to “compare 12- and 24-
hour time systems and convert between them (ACMMG110)” (Australian Curriculum and Reporting Authority [ACARA], n.d.(a)). The resource has
been created to teach and assess this sub-strand.
Learning objectives:
Students will read, convert between, and perform calculations with 12- and 24-hour time systems.
Design and content
Students today need to be web literate (Siemon et al, 2011). Online tools (like this) bring numerous sources together, allow students to
work at their own pace, and enable individual tracking and assessment (Crowther Centre for Learning & Innovation, Victorian Council of School
Organisations, 2012).
Students learn the 12- and 24-hour time systems by independently performing some basic calculations. As such, individual work supports
the lesson goal. The resource allows students to practice the new skill and provides instant feedback. Results are then shared with the teacher.
Finally, pupils complete a summative assessment task.
The approach has been guided by the work of Ralph Tyler, who states that lessons should be structured based on responses to four key
questions (Armitage et al, 2012).
Firstly, what is the relevant curriculum? This lesson fulfils the ACARA requirement for grade 5 students to understand the 12- and 24-hour
time systems (ACARA, n.d.(a)). It extends on the grade 4 sub-strand as students can use AM/PM notations and perform simple time problems
(ACARA, n.d.(b)).
Secondly, Tyler asks what learning experiences meet these objectives. The resource is student-centred. Students independently navigate
the resource, interacting with the elements and performing the tasks. This constructivist approach means students learn through their own
experience (Learning Zone Express, 2012). Students restructure their existing schemas as the new information is presented (Webb, 2012). 24-
hour time is introduced, taught and practiced; ideally removing any existing student misconceptions (Psychohawks, 2010).
The resource commences with a welcome. Students learn best when they feel safe (Dusenbury, 2012). Students are then presented with
an SMS from “Harry’s mum”. The familiar image would resonate and presents an authentic, relatable problem. Real life experiences enhance
learning (Siemon et al, 2011).
Materials used appeal to a breadth of students. A timeline explains the time systems and a table displays key conversions. A video
presentation enriches the learning experience. Students have individual learning styles and when content is delivered in various formats, it
caters for diversity (ACARA, 2013). In addition, students are at the ‘concrete operation stage’. They are engaged and assisted by concrete
materials. (Siemon et al, 2011). All components within the resource are presented visually.
Thirdly, Tyler asks how these learning experiences can be tied to the curriculum. All elements of the resource directly link to the teaching
and assessment of the curriculum. The lesson supports a guided teaching approach and the technology frees up the teacher to provide
assistance where needed (Siemon et al, 2011). Students work separately as they build an individual understanding of the time system.
Finally, Tyler suggests that assessment links directly to the learning objectives. The following section details this.
The assessment criteria
There are two assessment components of the resource. The first assessment is formative where students will receive instant feedback.
Ideally, students are always given feedback before summative assessment. (National Union of Students, n.d.). The final assessment is
summative.
After being taught the principles of 12- and 24-hour time systems, students are given the opportunity to apply the theory and practice
converting between the two time systems. A short quiz is presented and students receive instant, constructive feedback. For any errors, the
“Mathopolis” (2013) software provides constructive feedback that helps students’ future efforts and significantly aids their learning (University of
Sussex, n.d.). The teacher will receive the results via email and can then provide additional support to students whilst the summative task is
being undertaken. Teachers receive this information to gather feedback on the lesson and identify future learning needs.
Finally, the end task is summative assessment and as such, an assessment of learning. (Siemon et al, 2011). Students are presented with
a series of calculations that will evaluate whether the lesson has successfully met the curriculum requirements. The calculations, shown in the
resource, are linked to a ‘rich assessment task’ as students are asked to complete the missing elements of a flight timetable. Pupils are familiar
with travel timetables and by presenting them with authentic problems, they are given the opportunity to apply their knowledge to a real-life
situation. Students are motivated by such tasks. (Siemon et al, 2011). Furthermore, rich assessment tasks provide students with valuable skills
as they authentically “represent the way the skills will be used in the future”. (Clarke et al, 2002).
To support diverse needs, students should be provided with numerous ways to submit their work. (National Union of Students, n.d.). All
submission options are electronic and whilst this avenue may not harness each individual’s strengths, it is good for students to practice their
technology skills in a safe and supportive environment. Students must become familiar users of technology to prepare them for today’s digital
world. (Collins et al, n.d.).
Good teachers challenge all students. (Siemon et al, 2011). The resource will also extend students where required. Within the summative
assessment component, the calculations link to the grade 6 mathematics as they introduce the subject of times tables (ACMMG139). (ACARA,
n.d.(c)). Furthermore, the task touches on another grade 5 curriculum sub-strand (ACMSP120) as students are asked to “calculate timetables
using varied data representations”. (ACARA, n.d.(a)). For instance, some numbers are represented as decimals, others in hour/minute format.
The final extension is optional and students are asked to explain the 24-hour time system to “Harry”. Asking students to explain their thinking
aids cognitive development and highlights opportunities for further teaching. (Siemon et al, 2011). This task would identify any gaps in student
thinking.
Responses to the summative task are emailed to the teacher. Assessment must anticipate action (Clarke as cited in Siemon et al, 2011)
and this task will provide the teacher with an insight into individuals’ learning needs and follow-up requirements (if any). The (optional) text-
based question would also provide the teacher with information on the depth of individuals’ understanding and possible further extension.
Students should receive individual and constructive feedback for their assessment. A “mark” is not necessary as the task is short and students
will easily gain an overview of their performance. Furthermore, if a minority of students completed the extension task, it should develop as a
class discussion to enrich others’ understanding.
