Time - Quarter past and quarter to 2 - Worksheet

The worksheet in question is an educational resource designed to help children master telling time, specifically recognizing 'quarter to' and 'quarter past' the hour. In the exercises, children are instructed to draw the hands on a series of clock faces to represent times such as 'quarter to three' and 'quarter past eleven'. The activity aims to consolidate their understanding of these time concepts through repeated practice. Initially, the worksheet provides rows of clocks for 'quarter to' and 'quarter past' times separately, before combining them to ensure that children can distinguish between the two. This practical task is not only about drawing the hands correctly but also about reinforcing the position of the hour and minute hands at these specific times.

Further advancing their skills, the worksheet includes reasoning and problem-solving tasks that challenge children to apply their knowledge of time in real-life scenarios. For instance, one problem asks students to identify the mistake in a clock drawing, while another presents a situation with a farm train schedule and requires children to work out the times when a character named Zach can catch the train. These activities are designed to deepen the children's comprehension of time and to develop their ability to solve practical problems. Answers are provided to enable self-correction and to facilitate understanding of the correct positioning of the hour and minute hands for 'quarter to' and 'quarter past' the hour.
