Lesson 91 of 180
Concept
When comparing time: 1. Look at the hour first 2. If hours match, compare minutes
Example: 2:30 and 4:00 • 2:30 is earlier • 4:00 is later
If both are in the same part of day (AM or PM), compare normally. If one is AM and one is PM, AM is earlier in the day.
Try it
Compare each pair: 1. 1:00 and 3:00 (earlier? later?) 2. 5:30 and 5:00 3. 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM 4. 11:30 and 11:00 5. Draw two times and say which is later.
