The exercises of this arithmetic workbook challenge students to apply their addition and subtraction skills to the concept of time. Students must think their way through the problems because adding and subtracting modern clock times differs from ordinary addition and subtraction in the following ways: (1) Time is cyclic - that is, the 1 o'clock hour follows the 12 o'clock hour; (2) you may subtract a 'larger' time from a 'smaller' time and obtain a positive result - e.g. 7:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. = 20 hours; and (3) the 24-hour day is divided into two 12-hour halves - a.m. and p.m. These complications are similar to the difficulties encountered in word problems - but these exercises have no words. In order to teach students how to apply their arithmetic skills to modern clock times, the first page of each chapter provides a concise description of the problem-solving strategy followed by 4 to 5 examples. These examples should serve to guide the student's reasoning until the student is able to independently solve the problems. The answers to the exercises are tabulated in the back of the book so that, by checking their answers, students may learn from any mistakes that they might make. These exercises offer additional practice building arithmetic fluency and give students experience applying math concepts to practical situations. It is a common life situation to know what time it is now and for it to be useful to know how much time will elapse before an appointment. This workbook can also serve as a useful way to engage advanced and gifted students who are reluctant to practice their basic arithmetic skills. This book is conveniently divided up into five chapters. Each chapter focuses on either addition or subtraction. The first two chapters involve just adding and subtracting minutes from times. The next two chapters include both hours and minutes. The final chapter involves figuring out how many hours and minutes two given times are apart.

Most authentic book compilation on the Oregon Trail I ever read. The way the diaries are brought to life from over 170 years ago is a remarkable achievement. Top book of year so far for me for today June 01, 2024 review Candice
This author is a breathe of fresh air in a world of lies and coverups. He brings ancient writings and new science to bring light to mankind. In this amazing work, the well known plato stories from antiquity are now put alongside this new discovery of tablets from beginning of time. This is the most complete explanation of Atlantis every brought to the public. Shame on the governments of Egypt and the world for hiding WHO BUILT THE PHYRAMIDS OF GIZA AND THE SPHINX. Once I read this book I knew why they hid this knowledge. They don't want a population to know how great the world used to be compared to know.
Randomly stumbled upon this book and I am shocked that I haven’t heard about it before. It’s hands down the best story I’ve read in years. People need to read this book. It needs to be turned into a book. This story is just plain awsome. M
This soulful book of personal poetry brought me into the past and into the present---and into my heart.
Read the first book and this 2nd one did not disappoint! Loved every chapter. More please!
