Fascinating Fact:

The average human heart beats around 70 times per minute, meaning it beats more than 100,000 times per day.

In 11 Plus Maths, pupils learn to calculate with units of time, including converting seconds to minutes and minutes to hours. These skills are essential for understanding patterns and solving timing problems.

  • Second: The smallest common unit of time used in most measurements, with 60 seconds in one minute.
  • Minute: A unit equal to 60 seconds, used to measure short intervals of time.
  • Average: The typical or central value in a set of numbers, often found by adding them and dividing by the number of values.
How many seconds are there in one hour?

There are 3,600 seconds in one hour. You can find this by multiplying 60 seconds by 60 minutes.

Why do we use averages in time calculations?

Averages help us estimate typical results, like average heart rate or journey times, making comparisons and predictions easier to understand.

What is a real-life example of measuring time accurately?

Sports events and medical checks often rely on precise timing — such as timing a race to the second or measuring a pulse over one minute.

1 .
James wants to catch a bus scheduled to arrive at 17:23. What time is the bus due?
23 minutes past five in the afternoon
23 minutes past five in the morning
23 minutes to five in the afternoon
23 minutes to five in the morning
TIP: If the hour is later than 12 (i.e. 13-23) simply subtract 12 and put pm after it. So, 17:23 = 5:23 pm
2 .
It is quarter past six in the morning. How would this show on a 24-hour clock?
05:45
06:15
17:45
18:15
This is read as 'zero six fifteen hours'
3 .
Emma’s train home from work arrives at 18:07. What time is Emma’s train due?
7 minutes past six in the morning
7 minutes to six in the morning
7 minutes past six in the evening
7 minutes to six in the evening
TIP: If the hour is later than 12 (i.e. 13-23) simply subtract 12 and put pm after it. So, 18:07 = 6:07 pm
4 .
Julie’s watch is running two hours slow. It says 9:45 am. What is the real time on a 24-hour clock?
09:45
21:45
23:45
11:45
Two hours after 09:45 is 11:45 – quarter to 12 in the morning
5 .
How would one-minute past 12 pm appear on a 24-hour clock?
12:01
00:01
11:59
23:59
12 pm is 12:00 while 12 am is 00:00
6 .
It is ten to nine in the evening. How would this appear on a 24-hour clock?
21:10
20:50
21:50
08:50
Ten to nine in the morning would be 08:50. To convert am to pm just add 12 to the hours
7 .
A 24-hour clock shows 22:22. What time is it?
Twenty-two past 10 in the evening
Twenty-two to 10 in the evening
Twenty-two minutes past 10 in the evening
Twenty-two minutes to 10 in the evening
We have to add the word ‘minutes’ because 22 is not divisible by 5
8 .
Every October we put the clocks back one hour at 02:00. What time do we set them to?
15:00
03:00
13:00
01:00
One hour before 02:00 is 01:00
9 .
The time is twenty-seven minutes to seven in the evening. How would this be shown on a 24-hour clock?
07:27
06:33
19:27
18:33
Twenty-seven minutes to seven in the morning would be 06:33
10 .
It is 10:45 am and Matthew must start work in 3 hours and 15 minutes. At what time does Matthew start work?
02:00
14:00
01:45
13:45
10:45 plus 3 hours is 13:45, then we add 15 minutes to make it 14:00. That’s two o’clock in the afternoon
