- Who is the am and pm poster for?
- am and pm is filed under 2nd Grade (ages 7–8), so it matches what that year asks a child to remember. It is equally useful to an older student revisiting math, and to the parent or teacher answering the question at the kitchen table.
- When should you use the am and pm poster?
- Ask what time they get up and whether that is am or pm. Then bedtime. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so am and pm belongs on the wall where that math work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with am and pm?
- Adding with Regrouping, Addition & Subtraction Facts and Arrays and Repeated Addition sit alongside am and pm in the 2nd Grade set. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Adding with RegroupingAddition & Subtraction FactsArrays and Repeated Addition
- Is the am and pm poster free to download and print?
- Yes. am and pm downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the 2nd Grade set. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the am and pm poster print at?
- am and pm is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of am and pm loses nothing.Printing guide
