Time - Time to the half hour - Worksheet

The worksheet titled "Time to the Half Hour" is an educational resource designed to help students learn to read analog clocks and match them with written times. The task requires students to draw lines connecting various clocks to the correct written times, all of which indicate half-past the hour. The times range from half past one to half past twelve, covering the full spectrum of the clock face. This exercise aims to enhance students' fluency and precision in telling the time, specifically focusing on the recognition of 'half past' times.

Additionally, the worksheet includes a critical thinking component where students must evaluate the accuracy of time matches made by a character named Lee. For example, Lee has matched a clock with the time half past six, and students are prompted to discuss or write whether his match is correct. The worksheet provides an opportunity for students to correct mistakes and understand common errors, such as the incorrect positioning of the minute or hour hand. The answers reveal that Lee's matches are incorrect when the minute hand is not on the six, or when the hour hand is not in between the correct hour marks. This interactive approach not only reinforces the concept of half-hour times but also encourages students to critically assess and correct time-telling errors.
