Frequently asked
Questions parents ask about time and time zones
Why is time a Year 8 maths topic?
Because time arithmetic isn't base-10. Adding 30 minutes to 7:45 isn't the same as adding 0.30 to 7.45. Year 8 formalises the conversions and applies them to durations and time-zone calculations.
How do students convert between 12-hour and 24-hour time?
For PM times in 24-hour format, add 12 to the hour: 3:30 PM = 15:30. For AM times, the hour stays the same: 9:15 AM = 09:15. Midnight is 00:00, noon is 12:00.
How do time zones work?
Each zone is offset from UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) by a whole or half number of hours. Melbourne is UTC+10 (or +11 in daylight saving). New York is UTC-5. The difference between zones tells you the time gap.
What's the difference between AEST and AEDT?
AEST is Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC+10), used in winter. AEDT is Australian Eastern Daylight Time (UTC+11), used in summer. Daylight saving starts on the first Sunday in October and ends on the first Sunday in April.
Want a real plan for the term?
Worksheets are great for repetition. A Tuterly tutor can spot the specific moves your student keeps getting wrong and fix them in one or two sessions.
