Telling the Time - Worksheet

In a series of worksheets designed to teach and reinforce the concept of telling the time, students are provided with a variety of exercises to help them master this essential skill. The first worksheet asks pupils to complete clock faces by filling in missing information, ensuring they understand the positioning of the hour and minute hands. The second task requires students to read the time displayed on various clocks and write down the correct time in hours and minutes. This basic exercise strengthens their ability to recognize different times as shown on an analog clock face.

Subsequent worksheets delve deeper into time calculation by asking students to determine what the time would be an hour later or an hour earlier than the times shown. This helps children grasp the concept of time progression and regression. Another worksheet includes a word bank with terms such as 'o'clock', 'half past', 'quarter past', and 'quarter to', which students use to describe the time shown on the clocks. This introduces them to common phrases used in telling time. In the final set of worksheets, students are tasked with drawing the hands on blank clock faces to indicate specific times, such as '10 minutes past 3' or '25 minutes to 1', offering a practical application of their time-telling abilities and ensuring they can translate written time into visual representation on a clock face.
