Beginning to Tell the Time - Worksheet

The "Beginning to Tell the Time" worksheets are a set of educational resources designed to help young learners grasp the fundamentals of reading analog clocks. The first worksheet in the series presents students with a series of clock faces, each set to a specific hour. The task requires children to observe the position of the clock hands and write down the correct time in terms of 'o'clock' for each clock illustrated. This activity is an excellent starting point for those just learning about the hours on a clock.

Progressing to the second worksheet, the challenge increases slightly as students are now presented with clocks showing times at half-past the hour. The learners must recognize the minute hand at the bottom of the clock and the hour hand halfway between two numbers, and then write down the time as 'half past' followed by the correct hour. The third worksheet takes a more interactive approach, asking students to draw the hands on blank clock faces to match given times, including both 'o'clock' and 'half past' scenarios. Additionally, templates for making a clock and a blank clock face are provided, allowing for a variety of hands-on activities to support the learning process.
