=In Hannah's maths group we are looking at 24 hour time. We are thinking about:=
 * Why do we use 24 hour time?
 * What do we use to tell whether its after midday or before midday in 12 hour time?

Here are some games to help practise converting between 12 and 24 times. The first game lets you choose between converting 12 hour into 24 hour, and converting 24 hour into 12 hour.

[]

This is a game of SNAP! That asks you to SNAP! when the two times match up (one will be 24 hour and one will be 12 hour). There are three levels of difficulty in the game, so try the first level to start with.

[]

This game is matching analogue clocks (12 hour times) to 24 hour digital clocks. You are timed, so try beating your score! Record your top score so we can share with the class.

OLYMPIC MERCHANDISE STORE ACTIVITY

Lo: I will use a variety of +- ×÷ to write and solve problems related to online shopping at the Olympic store.

http://shop.london2012.com/

You have 15GBP to spend. You are not allowed to to buy the same item more than once. Display in your books your choices.

Share your purchases with a partner.

Task #2 You have to make a maths addition problem using the Olympics merchandise site.

Eg. John wanted to buy a hat, scarf and a travel mug. How much money would the cashier ask for?

Your partner will answer your question, and you will answer theirs in your books!

Task #3 We are going to create an addition problem (again using the Olympics Merchandise site) on a large piece of paper, writing the problem in a full sentence, then adding visuals, and our thinking/solution.

As we improve, some groups will be creating subtraction problems too, sharing their questions for their classmates to attempt.

Welcome to term 3 !
