Theme 5: Introduction

Time and Space


In this theme, you will learn about both standard and 24-hour clocks. You will learn about why time zones were developed and how to use them to figure out different times around the world. You will then learn about elapsed and remaining time.   After that, you will focus on locating sites on town and provincial maps and practise determining distances. To end this theme, you will look at how to convert Canadian money to foreign currencies. As with previous themes, throughout the lessons you will once again see how we can use these skills in our everyday lives.
