Time Zones and Elapsed Time
🌏 Part 1: Understanding Time Zones
WALT: We Are Learning To read and compare times in different time zones.
Success criteria: I can identify UTC offsets, calculate time differences and explain whether a place is ahead of or behind another place.
Use these time zones: Perth UTC+8, Adelaide UTC+9:30, Sydney UTC+10, London UTC+0 and New York UTC−5. Ignore daylight saving time.
✏️ Part 2: Calculate Time Differences
Show your working. Remember to check whether the time moves to the previous or next day.
🧭 Part 3: Apply Your Skills
Success criteria: I can solve a real-life time-zone problem, show clear steps and use a.m./p.m. or 24-hour time correctly.
Differentiation: Use a number line or draw two clocks. Work with a partner, read each question aloud, and highlight the city names and UTC offsets.
Dyslexia-friendly option: Read one sentence at a time, cover unused information, use a ruler to track each line and write times in large, clear numerals.
Extension: Create two international meeting times that are suitable for a person in Perth and a person in New York. Include the time and date for both people, and explain your choices.
