Time is not only what you read on a watch. Months and years are also measures of time. This Math quiz will check you to see how much you know about the different terms used in dealing with time: you don't only use time to 'tell the time'.

We use certain words to mean huge amounts of time. How many can you think of? Have you heard of donkey's years? Apparently this comes from donkey's ears - which are long. And what about yonks? If you swap the first letters of donkey's years, you get yonkey's dears which gets shortened to yonks! And if something is going to take forever, that is rarely literal!

1 .

2 .
In which century will the year AD 2508 be in?
The 27th century
The 25th century
The 26th century
The 20th century
Add '1' to hundreds place position and you'll get the correct century: the 26th century. Similarly, '1954' is in the 20th century, and '2012' is in the 21st century. If you count the centuries from the death of Christ (AD), you'll see why the century is always 1 more than the number of hundreds

In Western civilization, what is the name given to the dates recorded before the birth of Christ?
Pre-Christ (PC)
Before Christ (BC)
Ante-Christ (AC)

We use BC to show that something happened BEFORE Christ was born, e.g. 'The Assyrian Empire fell in 612 BC'. This event took place 612 years BEFORE Christ was born. Events after the death of Christ are shown by AD - which is NOT After Death! AD stands for 'Anno Domini', e.g. 'The Battle of Waterloo was in AD1815'. This event took place 1,815 years AFTER the death of Christ
