Thanks Craig for starting this forum. I am starting this thread as I am going to be adding any success criteria I write to this thread for Y5 D1. When I finish I may then upload the word doc but it makes it a way for us to share success criteria, and I find them hard to write for maths
I will work from the learning outcomes

To change 12 hour clock to 24 hour clock
If a.m. remove the a.m. and make sure that there are 4 digits
e.g 4:30 a.m. → 04:30

If p.m. remove the p.m. look for the hour and add 12
If 4:30 a.m. → 16:30 p.m.

To change 24 hour clock to 12 hour clock
If it is less then 12:59 just write it as a.m.
e.g. 08:34 → 8:34 a.m.
12:56 → 12:56 a.m
If it is more than 12:00 subtract 12 from the hours and then write as p.m.
e.g. 16:34 → 4:34 p.m.

To calculate time differences
1. Draw a time line
2. Put the earlier time on the left
3. Put the later time on the right
4. Find how many minutes to the next hour
5. Find how many hours to the final hour
6. Find how many minutes are needed to complete the time
7. Add up the time jumps ( remember how to change minutes to hours)

Changing minutes to hours and minutes if you have more than 60 mins

1. Each 60 mins is one hour
Eg 86 mins = 60 mins + 26 mins = I hr 26mins
134 mins = 120 mins + 14 mins = 2hrs 14 mins
120mins = 2hrs
180 mins = 3hrs
240 mins = 4hrs

To calculate the end time for an event

1. Draw time line
2. Put start time on the left
3. Put name of the event at the right
4. Add on the time to the start time

It won't let me paste my diagram so wait until I upload all the finished success criteria as a word doc.

to find the day of the week from a calendar

1. find the date
2. Look to the top of the column to find which day of the week it is

to calculate how many weeks and days to an event

1. Find the day you are starting from
2. Count the weeks by going down until you are less than a week before your target date.
3. Having got you weeks now count the days

I use success criteria a lot for English work but not for maths so I was curious to see what was on this thread. So far it looks like you've given sets of instructions for performing a particluar process. Is that the same as success criteria? I'm not sure.

Does using success criteria in maths make a significant impact? Do most schools use success criteria for maths? I'd be interested to see what theirs look like too. I have a mixed age class so coming up with success criteria for four year groups would be a nightmare and I'm not keen on reinventing the wheel.

When I use success criteria for writing, I use checklists (usually created with the children) so the children can see whether they've included the various things they need to. Perhaps rephrasing the instructions into 'I have' type statements might help, e.g.

Success criteria for changing an a.m. time to the 24 hour clock:
I have removed the a.m. e.g. 10.45a.m. ---> 10.45
I have made sure that there are 4 digits by putting a zero before the hours if it is a single digit number, e.g 4.30 a.m. → 04.30
I have used a colon to separate the hours from the minutes, e.g. 07:15

After teaching the children the method you want them to use, perhaps you could get the children to come up with the success criteria. I might try this out with one of my groups tomorrow and see what happens.

We don't do our success criteria in as much detail as this and we try to create it with the children, but I think it's really useful to see the skills and processes they need to be able to do a specific thing in maths!

Thanks Smile
