OUTCOME
A student:

uses 24-hour time and am and pm notation in real-life situations, and constructs timelines
TEACHING POINTS | Australia is divided into three time zones. In non-daylight saving periods, time in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania is Eastern Standard Time (EST), time in South Australia and the Northern Territory is half an hour behind EST, and time in Western Australia is two hours behind EST. |
| Typically, 24-hour time is recorded without the use of the colon (:), e.g. 3:45 pm is written as 1545 or 1545 h and read as ‘fifteen forty-five hours’. |
| LANGUAGE | Students should be able to communicate using the following language: timetable, timeline, scale, 12-hour time, 24-hour time, hour, minute, second, am (notation), pm (notation). |
