Compare Clocks

šŸ•’ Comparing clocks means deciding which time is earlier and which is later.

Lesson 5

Concept

When comparing time: 1. Look at the hour first 2. If hours match, compare minutes Example: 2:30 and 4:00 ā€¢ 2:30 is earlier ā€¢ 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.
