a.m. and p.m: what children learn

Students use a.m. for times from midnight to noon and p.m. for times from noon to midnight. They decide by thinking about what is happening, such as breakfast in the morning or dinner in the evening.

a.m. and p.m: worked example

You eat breakfast at 7:30. Is that a.m. or p.m.? a.m.

Breakfast is in the morning, which is before noon. So the time is 7:30 a.m.

a.m. and p.m: a common mistake to watch for

Kids often think a.m. means day and p.m. means night, but p.m. starts right after noon.

a.m. and p.m: how to help at home or in class

Draw a line down a page and label the sides a.m. and p.m., with a note at the top that noon is where p.m. begins. Your child lists their own day, like waking, school, and bath, with a time next to each. Then ask about a surprise like 12:30 at night, which is a.m. When your child sorts events without help, calendar facts are a good next step.
