Time - Telling the time to 5 minutes - Worksheet

This educational worksheet is designed to help students master the skill of telling time to the nearest five minutes. The task requires pupils to draw the minute and hour hands on a series of blank clock faces to accurately represent specific times provided. The times range from simple increments, such as '10 past 8' and '5 past 9', to more challenging ones like '25 past 11' and '20 to 1'. Each time is written in a way that encourages students to think about the position of the hands in relation to the clock's face, with a focus on intervals of five minutes.

The worksheet is structured to enhance both fluency and precision in time-telling. Students are invited to apply their knowledge of how clock numbers correspond to minutes and hours. For example, they must recognize that '10 minutes to 6' means the minute hand is on the 10, indicating 50 minutes past the hour, and the hour hand is approaching 6. The worksheet includes a variety of times, such as 'twenty past four', '7:50', and '12:05', to ensure comprehensive practice. It serves as a practical tool for students to consolidate their understanding of analog clocks and to become proficient in reading and representing time accurately.
