Time - Time to the hour - Worksheet

This worksheet is designed to help children develop fluency and precision in telling time to the hour. Students are presented with a series of clocks, each displaying a different time, and a list of times written in words, such as '9 o'clock', '12 o'clock', and '4 o'clock'. The task requires the children to draw lines connecting each clock to the corresponding written time. This exercise not only reinforces their ability to recognise the hours on an analogue clock but also encourages them to match these with the correct written time expressions. The worksheet includes a range of times to ensure a comprehensive practice session.

In addition to the matching activity, the worksheet provides a critical thinking challenge where a character named Lee has matched a clock with a time, and the students must discuss or write whether Lee's match is correct. For example, if Lee has matched a clock showing '12 o'clock' with '3 o'clock', students need to identify the mistake and explain that the clock's hands are not showing the correct time. This aspect of the worksheet is particularly useful for teaching children to pay close attention to the position of the hour and minute hands when reading an analogue clock. The worksheet is structured to guide students through the process of recognising and understanding time to the hour, with additional prompts to discuss common errors and misconceptions.
