Using timetables is a great way to understand the 24-hour clock system!
When I first came across military time, I found it a bit confusing. But then, I discovered how helpful timetables could be in making things clearer. Here’s what I did:
Getting the Basics: The 24-hour clock runs from 00:00 (midnight) to 23:59 (one minute before midnight).
Knowing that 1:00 PM is 13:00 in military time really helped me.
Making a Simple Chart: I created an easy chart to change normal time into military time. Here are a few examples:
Looking at Timetables: When I studied things like flight or train schedules, I noticed they often use the 24-hour clock.
This way, it’s clear and helps avoid any mix-ups with times. I practiced converting the times in my head by looking at a timetable. For example, if a train leaves at 16:45, I’d quickly change that to 4:45 PM.
Working Through Problems: Finally, I tried solving problems with the timetable.
For instance, if a flight takes off at 22:30 and lands at 01:15, I learned how to figure out the duration. Knowing the flight was overnight helped me think of it as 1:15 AM the next day.
Overall, timetables made it easier for me to picture and practice using the 24-hour clock. It became much less scary and way more useful!
