Time - Telling the time - Worksheet

In a comprehensive worksheet on telling the time, children are challenged to enhance their understanding of time by solving various reasoning and problem-solving questions. The focus is on reading analogue clocks and expressing the time using the terms 'past' and 'to'. Students are expected to tell the time to the nearest minute, which requires them to count the minutes past the hour or to calculate how many minutes remain until the next hour. The worksheet provides a structured approach where children must identify the time displayed on the clock and then determine the time after a certain number of minutes have passed, such as 45 minutes later.

The worksheet is designed to develop fluency and precision in telling the time. It includes exercises where children fill in the blanks to state the time, counting in increments of five minutes either 'past' or 'to' the hour. Additionally, there are exercises where students must calculate what the time will be after a given period, such as 30, 60, or 42 minutes, fostering their ability to perform time-based calculations. To further solidify their skills, children are presented with written times that are 45 minutes after the times shown on analogue clocks, and they must match them to the correct clocks. This variety of tasks ensures that students not only learn to read the time accurately but also understand the passage of time and develop their problem-solving abilities.
