5. The 12-hour time format divides a 24-
hour day into two equal cycles or periods.
The first cycle is AM, which means ante
meridiem (before midday) in Latin, while
the second cycle is PM, which means post
meridiem (after midday).
6. Ante Meridiem (a.m.) and Post Meridiem (p.m.) is used in
a 12-hour clock at the end to denote whether the time is
in the morning or afternoon.
Ante meridiem (a.m.) – is used after 12 midnight and
before 12 noon.
- (12:01 a.m. – 11:59 a.m.)
Post meridiem (p.m.) – is used after 12 noon and before
12 midnight.
- (12:01 p.m. – 11:59 p.m.)
7. Activity AM or PM?

As a Grade 5 pupil, when do you usually do the following activities? The students will use the
paper clock with a.m. or p.m. labels to use the class what time in the 12-hour clock they perform
the following activities.
8. When using AM and PM, the 12-hour time format is
employed.
There are two equal cycles or periods of 12 hours in a
day.
The 1st 12-hour period/cycle refers to AM, which is
from 12:00 AM to 11:59 AM, while the 2nd 12-hour
period/cycle refers to PM, which is from 12:00 PM
to 11:59 PM.
9. Understanding the 12-hour time format including
the appropriate use of AM and PM is essential. This
can prevent misunderstandings and confusion in
communication and improve our ability to manage
our schedules.
For instance, if you invite your classmates to your
birthday party at 8:00, they need to know if it is AM
or PM; otherwise, they might get confused. Another
was meeting a friend I had not seen for a long time
at 7:00, but she came at 7:00 AM when I meant
7:00 PM.
10. Lena’s train leaves at 18:30

12. Lena’s train leaves at 18:30
and arrives at her
destination at 01:45. When
she gets off the train, will it
already be daytime?
13. Step 1: Understand the time of
arrival
18:30 is in the evening.
01:45 is 1:45 AM, which is in the
early morning of the next day.
14. Step 2: Know when daytime begins
Daytime typically begins at
sunrise, around 5:30 AM to 6:00
AM, depending on the season and
location.
15. Step 3: Compare the arrival time
with sunrise
Lena arrives at 01:45 AM, which is
before sunrise.
Therefore, it is still dark and not
yet daytime.
