1. Key Ideas

Reading a timetable and calculating how long a journey takes sounds simple — until the train crosses midnight or the flight has a 2-hour layover. Master the structured method and nothing trips you up.

  • How to convert between 12-hour and 24-hour time
  • Why 24-hour time eliminates the am/pm ambiguity

2. Success Criteria

By the end, you should be able to:

  • How to convert between 12-hour and 24-hour time
  • Midnight = 0000 (or 2400), Noon = 1200
  • How to calculate elapsed time by subtracting start from finish

3. Key Terms

FormulaA rule showing the relationship between variables using symbols.
