Series description:

Students explore 12-hour time, or 12-hour and 24-hour time, on both analogue and digital clocks. Students read times on a master analogue or digital clock in the Time challenge task and adjust the time on other clocks to match the Master clock. A matching game provides opportunities to recall and match times on both analogue and digital clocks.
