LESSON THREE – ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION INVOLVING TIME

Teacher’s/Pupil’s Activities 1 – Addition and Subtraction

Working Examples

Add 7.35 and 11.32

07 h 35 m

11 h 32 m (+)

__________

18 h 67 m

 

Note – 60 minutes = 1 hour.

 

Therefore,

18 h 67 m = 18 h 60 m + 7 m

18 h + 1 h + 07 m

19 h 07 m

 

2. Subtract 13 h 13 m from 15 h 11 m

15 h 11 m
