Time - Telling time to 5 minutes 2 - Worksheet

The worksheet "Telling Time to 5 Minutes – Drawing Hands 2" is designed to enhance children's skills in telling time to the nearest five minutes and drawing the corresponding hands on a clock face. The exercise includes a variety of time-telling tasks that range from simple consolidation of full hours and half-past times to more complex intervals, such as quarter to/past and to the nearest five minutes. The worksheet is structured to build on the children's existing knowledge and provide practice in accurately representing times by positioning the hour and minute hands correctly on a clock.

In addition to fluency and precision tasks, the worksheet incorporates reasoning and problem-solving activities. Children are challenged to determine the correct time and identify errors in clock drawings. For example, they are given scenarios where they must sort clocks into the correct or incorrect time categories based on whether the hands have been drawn to show a specific time, such as 10 to 7. This exercise not only tests their ability to read the time but also to critically evaluate and correct the work of others. The worksheet culminates with an answers section, providing the opportunity for self-assessment and understanding common mistakes, such as confusing the hour and minute hands or miscalculating the time intervals.
