Converting Between Minutes and Hours (B) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

It is vital that students can interpret decimal numbers as time and avoid common misconceptions, such as 2.5, meaning 2 hours and 50 minutes, to complete time calculations.

The primary focus of this worksheet is providing students with 14 calculator displays of time as decimals, including recurring decimals, and asking them to write this as hours and minutes. We have included an example with working, so no prerequisite knowledge is required.

In section A, students will convert time in hours or hours and minutes into solely hours. And section C requires learners to convert minutes into hours and minutes.

All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Maths.
