Departure Time 24 hr Conversion

Competency C: Understand and Use Numbers
Task Group C2: Manage time
Level: 2
At this level, learners: Make low-level inferences to calculate using time

Performance Descriptors
The learner:

• Calculates using numbers expressed as whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and percentages
• Interprets and applies rates (e.g. $/hr, km/hr, cooking time/pound)
• Converts between units of time (e.g. millennia, centuries, decades, years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds)
• Makes simple estimates
• Interprets, represents, and converts time using whole numbers, decimals, percentages, ratios, and simple, common fractions (e.g. ½, ¼)
• Chooses and performs required operation(s); may make inferences to identify required operation(s)
• Selects appropriate steps to reach solutions
• Understands and converts time between 12- and 24-hour clocks
• Converts time between time zones
• Uses strategies to check accuracy (e.g. estimating, using a calculator, repeating a calculation, using the reverse operation)

Task Descriptors

• Scope of task is clearly defined
• May include unfamiliar elements (e.g. context, content)
• Requires the use of rates, or requires two or more operations, where operations are easily inferred
• Requires up to a few steps to complete
• May be completed in more than one way
• May involve one document (e.g. table, schedule)
• May require converting between whole numbers, decimals, fractions, ratios, and percentages
