Quarter past means 15 minutes past the hour.

Ten past twenty-five means 10:25 (ten minutes past twenty-five).

✏️ Part 2: Short Answers & Drawing

6. Write the digital time (12-hour) for "the afternoon" when the analogue shows 2:35. Include am/pm: _________
7. Convert to 24-hour time: 9:15 pm = _________
8. How many minutes are there between 10:20 and 11:05? _________ minutes
9. Draw the hands on the clock to show 7:25. Use the box below and explain in one short sentence how you placed the hands.

✅ Part 3: Challenge, Success Criteria & Differentiation

10. Challenge (Advanced): Convert 12:45 am into 24-hour time: _________

Success criteria — tick when you can do each:

Read analogue clocks to the nearest five minutes.

Write 12-hour digital time with am/pm correctly.

Convert simple times between 12-hour and 24-hour formats.

Differentiation (for diverse learners): Visual learners: use clock faces and coloured minute marks. Kinesthetic learners: use movable hands or classroom clocks. EAL/SEN: provide sentence starters (e.g. "The minute hand is on..., so it is ... past ...").

Extension activities (advanced learners): Convert times across am/pm and solve a short elapsed-time puzzle (e.g. "A film starts at 18:20 and lasts 1 hour 45 minutes — what time does it finish?"). Consider introducing simple 24-hour to time-zone examples.
