Learning journey

Your child is learning to measure the world around them — calculating areas and perimeters, converting between different units like metres and kilometres, and solving time problems using both analogue and digital clocks.

Evidence of understanding

  • Convert 3:45 pm to 15:45 in 24-hour time
  • Read 19:30 and state the 12-hour equivalent as 7:30 pm
  • Match a set of 12-hour and 24-hour times

Assessment prompt

If a train timetable shows a departure at 14:35, can 12-hour and 24-hour time convert that to 12-hour clock time — and tell you whether that's morning or afternoon?
