Time - O'clock and half past - Worksheet

In this engaging worksheet, Year 6 students revisit the fundamental skill of telling the time to the hour and half past the hour, a concept first introduced in Year 1. To solidify their understanding, the children are provided with individual clocks featuring moveable hands. This hands-on approach allows them to actively create different times and practise reading them directly from the clock face. The worksheet presents various exercises where students must identify and circle the correct time, such as '6 o'clock' or 'half past 4', from a list of options. Additionally, they are tasked with writing down the correct time as shown on different clock illustrations, further reinforcing their time-telling abilities.

Beyond simple recognition, the worksheet also challenges students with reasoning and problem-solving tasks related to time. In one activity, they must calculate what the time will be in half an hour increments, encouraging them to think ahead and apply their knowledge dynamically. Another intriguing section involves a scenario where the minute hand has fallen off the clocks, and students must deduce whether the time displayed is 'o'clock' or 'half past' based on the position of the hour hand. This particular exercise not only tests their understanding of clock reading but also develops critical thinking skills as they explain the rationale behind their answers. These varied and interactive activities help students to master the curriculum with fluency and precision.
