Do some quick examples to show how to convert from times in minutes (such as "90 minutes") to digital times. It's good to have an analog clock that you can move the arms around on to demonstrate moving forward in time by a certain number of minutes.
Do the first question together as an example. Break it down and write notes on the board. Check that the students are following both the language and the maths. Use symbols to first introduce key words such as "add", "later" and "equals".
Have the students repeat the process to complete the other questions. Remind them to write their answers in full sentences. Check their work together.
