Time - O'clock and half past 2 - Worksheet

In Lesson 3 (Part 2), children are tasked with reinforcing their understanding of time, specifically focusing on 'o'clock' and 'half past' times. The worksheet provided allows them to practice by drawing the hands on clock faces to represent given times. Initially, they work on a row dedicated solely to 'o'clock' times, which helps them consolidate their grasp of full-hour time-telling. Subsequently, they move on to rows of 'half past' times for further practice. Finally, they face the challenge of a mixed row, which combines both 'o'clock' and 'half past' times, to test their ability to distinguish and accurately represent the two different time formats on the clocks.

As part of the worksheet activities, children also engage in reasoning and problem-solving exercises that involve recognising and correcting mistakes in time-telling. For instance, they might be presented with a clock where the hour hand is incorrectly positioned or where both hands are the same length, and they must identify and explain these errors. These exercises not only assess the children's ability to tell the time but also encourage critical thinking and attention to detail, as they learn to spot and rectify common mistakes in clock reading. The worksheet concludes with an answers section to allow for self-assessment or guided review of the tasks completed.
