What does the a.m. or p.m.? worksheet cover?
It practices deciding whether an everyday event happens before or after noon — 5 questions for Grade 2, all on Common Core 2.MD.C.7: Read a clock to the nearest five minutes. The instruction to students is “Sort each one into the right box”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.

Does a.m. or p.m.? come with an answer key?
Yes. All 5 answers are generated from the same problems as the questions, so the key cannot drift out of step with the sheet. It starts on a fresh sheet of paper, after the questions, so it is not handed out with the class by accident.
How many different versions of a.m. or p.m.? can I print?
