Support your students as they explore the relationship between 12-hour and 24-hour time with the informative and versatile 12 & 24-Hour Time Conversion Posters. These four clear and purposeful posters are designed to help students visualise time conversions and develop fluency in telling time across both formats.

Each poster focuses on a key concept – including identifying A.M. and P.M., reading the 24-hour clock, and converting between 12- and 24-hour time formats. The posters include labelled examples and helpful explanations, making them a practical anchor for classroom instruction and independent reference.

12 & 24-Hour Time Conversion Posters are available in both colour and black-and-white options, allowing for flexible use whether you’re creating a vibrant maths display or offering students individual copies for their books or folders.
