Managing time involves accurately predicting how much time it will take to do a task, and then setting aside that amount of time to complete it. Managing time is much more difficult than it may seem, which is why there are entire courses of study and research on the best approaches. But if you develop a method to undertake each component, you’ll be successful.

This online tutorial guides you through what information a map shows, map legends and the different types of maps which are available.

Using position-time graphs and number lines to find displacement and distance traveled.

This online tutorial will provide you with some guidelines on how to interpret both topographic and geologic maps.

Outcomes

By the end of this course you will:

• Know what the 12 hour and 24 hour clocks are respectively
• Be able to convert times from the 12 to 24 hour clock and vice versa
• Be familiar with the units of time
• Learn how to convert one unit of time to another
