Common misconception
Some pupils might think 8:45 + 20 mins = 8:65. As our system of time is not based around the decimal system, this is incorrect.
Some pupils may still not be fully au fait with telling the time, though the lesson presumes they are. Providing them with a mini-clock with movable hands will help to reinforce the idea of bridging to and then from the o'clock time.
Keywords
