Telling time – 24 hour time
We can also use the 24 hour time model to express time.
We number the hours from 0 to 23 because there are 24 hours in a day.
When it gets to the 24th hour, it starts again at 0.
Can you think of situations when it is better to use 24 hour time rather than digital time?

Five different families were
travelling to Los Angeles for a
holiday to one of the many theme
parks. Their flights all left on the
same day, but each family left at
a different time and were going to
a different theme park.
Find out each family’s flight number, departure time and the theme park they went
to. Read the clues below and use the grid to keep track of what you find out. Use
a cross when you are sure 2 variables do not match and a tick when you know that
they do. The first clue has been entered into the grid to show you how to do this.
1 Flight 938 left at 4:45 pm with the Herringers on board.
2The Herringers and the family going to Seaworld were not on the flight leaving
just before 6 pm.
3The Nicholls family who were on flight 762 were not interested in going to
Knott’s Berry Farm or Disneyland.
4 Flight 938 was the flight of the family going to Universal Studios.
5 The Kirk family was the last of all the families to fly out on flight 165 on the way
to Knott’s Berry farm.

Calculating time – time trails
We can use our knowledge of basic time facts to help us convert between hours, seconds
and minutes.
1
By knowing these facts:
1 minute = 60 seconds
3 minutes = 180 seconds (3 × 60)
1 hour = 60 minutes
1 12 hours = 90 minutes (60 + 30)
1 day = 24 hours
1 week = 168 hours (7 × 24)
1 year = 52 weeks
2 years = 104 weeks
How many seconds or minutes? You may use a calculator if you wish:
420

c360 seconds =

d 420 seconds =

e240 seconds =

f 48 minutes =

Calculating time – word problems
Timelines can help us with more difficult word problems.
Question: Tina went to watch a movie that started at 5:38 pm and
finished at 7:10 pm. How long did the movie go for?
Steps: 1. F irst count on in hours in your head to get as close to
the finish time as possible and write it in the first box.
(The finish time is 7:10 pm so we need to add 1 hour
to 5:38 pm make it 6:38 pm.)
2. T hen count on in 10 minute and 2 minute jumps until
you get to the finish time.
5:38 pm + 1 hour = 6:38 pm
7:10 pm
Answer: 1 hour and 32 minutes

to complete an activity.
Choose an activity such as race from the library to the office. Make your
prediction, then try it out.
How close are you? Do your estimations get closer with practice?
Answer will vary.

Mrs Smith is livid … furious … about to burst a blood vessel. She has come home at
6 pm to find that one of her kids has dropped pizza on the new cream sofa, leaving
tomato sauce and ham everywhere. And as for the grease stains, she can’t bear to
even think about them.
Mr Smith was in the shed the whole afternoon and can cast no light on the matter.
She will deal with him later.
She has hauled in all the kids to find the culprit.
What
to do
Read each alibi and find out who is lying. Someone has a gap in their timeline. And in
that time, they managed to make the mess … Use the timetable to show who is the
guilty party. Note: They all finish school at 3:30 pm.
Jack says he couldn’t have done it because: “School finished at 3:30 pm and I went
straight to soccer practice. It takes 15 minutes to get to soccer practice and the
practice lasted for an hour. Then it took 15 minutes to walk home. And Tom came
home with me and we were on the PlayStation for an hour and then you came
home! Ask Tom, he’ll tell you we didn’t leave the PlayStation.”
Madison’s alibi is: “I can’t have done it! I had dance class after school in the gym for
an hour. And then Li’s mum picked me up and took us both out for ice cream. That
took 30 minutes. And then I went back to Li’s and we MSN’ed for 45 minutes. Then
I walked home and that takes 15 minutes. So it wasn’t me!”
Dakota claims innocence this way: “Well, it couldn’t have been me because I went
next door to Nikki’s after school for 1 hour and 45 minutes. And then I came home
and got changed for kung fu which took 15 minutes. And then just as I finished,
Nikki rang at 5:45 pm to say they would pick me up in 15 minutes to go to kung fu,
so I am innocent!”

Daylight Saving is used by New Zealand, New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory (ACT),
Tasmania, Victoria and South Australia as a way of having more daylight hours after work.
When Daylight Saving begins, clocks are put forward 1 hour. When it ends, clocks are put back
1 hour. Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory do not use Daylight Saving.

Use 24 hour time to record the corresponding times in each city during Daylight Saving time. Use the time

Time applications – world time zones
Lines of latitude and longitude form a grid that can be used to
pinpoint any location in the world.
The equator is an imaginary line around the
centre of the earth. It is measured at 0°.
Latitude is the measurement of distance in
degrees north and south of the equator.
From the equator to the North and
South Pole there are 90° of latitude.
Lines of latitude run horizontally.
Longitude is the measurement of
distance in degrees east or west of the
Prime Meridian. The Prime Meridian
divides the earth in half and passes
through Greenwich, England at 0°. All
lines of longitude pass through the North
and South Poles. They run vertically. There
are 180° of longitude on each side of the
Prime Meridian.
On the opposite side to the Prime Meridian is the
International Date Line.
Longitudinal lines to the left of the Prime Meridian give
locations in the western hemisphere. Longitudinal lines to the right of the Prime Meridian give locations in
the eastern hemisphere.

For this game, you will need the enlarged map on the previous page (page 24) and
2 dice. You are a contestant on the reality show, “Don’t Forget to Call Home!” As well
as the usual race around the world stunts, you have to call London every day between
set hours.
The point scoring system is below. It pays to get
the timing right as the winning contestant scores

Look back to your world
time zone map to work out
time differences. Remember
Greenwich is in London.
1Roll 2 dice to get the time and place from which you
call. For example, if you roll 1 or 2 for the place and a 3 for the time, you are calling
from Los Angeles at 1700.
2Work out what time it is in London. Using the same example, the time in London
would be 8 hours later which makes it 0100. So you would score –10 points because
the early hours of the morning is a bad time to call!
