Time Problems

The 24 hour clock

The 24 hour clock is a way of measuring time where the day runs from midnight to midnight. The day is divided into 24 hours, from 0 - 24. We don't need to use am or pm with the 24 hour clock.

The tables below show the corresponding hours between the 12 and 24 hour clocks. Fill in the missing spaces, paying close attention to the exact way of writing the times for each one.

Reading Timetables

Being able to understand the information in a timetable is a really useful skill in everyday life, not just in your school work!

The following timetable shows the schedule of events at a leisure centre. Use it to answer the questions below, using the example to help you.

Example Question: On Wednesday, the Roller Disco starts 15 minutes after Swim Fun finishes. How long does Swim Fun last?

Answer: First make sure you're looking at the correct day. We need to be looking at the column under

'Wed' for this question.

If we look along the row that tells us when the Roller Disco starts, we can see that on Wednesday it starts at 11:00am. If Swim Fun finishes 15 minutes before this, it must finish at 10:45.

By looking at the table we can see that Swim Fun starts at 09:25 on Wednesday. The length of time between 09:25 and 10:45 is 1 hour and 20 minutes, so that is our answer!

1. On Friday, Freddie goes to Swim Fun for 1 hour and 30 minutes. If he then needs 20 minutes to get changed, how much spare time will he have before the Roller Disco begins ?

_________________________

2. On which day is the leisure centre open for the longest amount of time?

_________________________

3. Noah really wants to try volleyball, but on any given day he can't get to the leisure centre before 13:25. Once he gets there, he needs an extra 15 minutes to get changed into his sports gear. On which day should Noah go in order to have 10 minutes spare before the volleyball once he's ready?

Homophones

Homophones are similar to homonyms, but there is a difference! Try not to get them confused.

Just like homonyms, homophones are words that sound the same and have different meanings. However,

homophones have different spellings depending on their meaning.

For example, think about the words 'board' and 'bored'. These two words sound exactly the same when we say

them out loud, but they have different spellings as well as different meanings. 'Board' means a plank of wood or

other material, whereas 'bored' means 'lacking interest'.

Homophones Activity

Each question below contains a sentence. Underline the word from the pair in the brackets that makes sense

within the sentence as a whole. After you've done that, it's your job to come up with a sentence of your own

that contains the other word from the brackets.

For example: The shop was holding a big ( sale / sail ) over the bank holiday weekend.

My sentence: The sail of the boat helped it to move swiftly through the water.

1. The man watched proudly as his bride walked down the ( isle / aisle ) .

My sentence: _________________________________________________________________________________

2. Sweets are now ( banned / band ) at school as they are bad for your teeth.

My sentence: _________________________________________________________________________________

3. Jasmine received lots of ( praise / prays ) from her teacher for her school project.

My sentence: _________________________________________________________________________________

4. "What time is the train ( dew / due ) to arrive?" asked Max.

My sentence: _________________________________________________________________________________

5. Mum hung the dress on a ( hangar / hanger ) to stop it from getting creased.

My sentence: _________________________________________________________________________________
