How to approach telling time
An analog clock shows hours with the short hand and minutes with the long hand. Each numbered interval represents 5 minutes, while the small marks represent single minutes.
Read the hour carefully when the hour hand sits between numbers: it still names the hour most recently passed.
Learning objectives
- Read analog clocks to the minute
- Match analog and digital times
- Use hour, half-hour, and quarter-hour language
Skills to review first
