About AM and PM
What this skill is
AM (ante meridiem: before noon) and PM (post meridiem: after noon) divide the 24-hour day into two 12-hour cycles centered on noon and midnight.
When children learn it
Distinguishing AM and PM in relation to daily activities is explicitly taught in 2nd grade (CCSS 2.MD.C.7).
Teaching Tips
- Create a "Sun and Moon" timeline: draw a sun for AM (waking up, breakfast, morning school) and stars for PM (lunch, dinner, bedtime). Label daily home routines with AM and PM together.
Common Mistakes
- Confusing 12:00 AM (midnight) with 12:00 PM (noon lunch time).
- Assuming AM means "always light outside" and PM means "always dark outside".
- Labeling morning breakfast events as PM.
