It's Time for School, Ruby

In this book, Millie the Mathematician helps us to tell the time. We follow the daily routine of Ruby and her brother Jake as they get ready for school and progress through the school day. Millie helps us to read analog clocks using terms such as ‘quarter past’, half past’ and ‘quarter to’. She also introduces us to the concept of digital time (such as 7.15 am and 3.15 pm) and explains the difference between ‘am’ and ‘pm’. This book addresses content from the Measurement and Geometry strand within the Using units of measurement sub-strand. The specific Australian Curriculum content descriptor addressed is: “Tell time to the quarter-hour, using the language of 'past' and 'to'.”
