Time - Telling the Time to 5 Minutes (1) - Worksheet

The "Telling the Time to 5 Minutes" worksheet is designed to enhance a student's ability to read and understand time on an analog clock with precision. The worksheet presents a series of exercises that require students to identify and write down the time, with the focus on intervals of five minutes. It begins with a simple exercise where students are asked, "What time is it?" and they must count in increments of five to determine the minutes past or to the hour. This repetitive practice helps to solidify their understanding of the clock face and the concept of time as it relates to the position of the minute hand.

The worksheet progresses to more specific tasks, where students are presented with times such as "25 minutes past 3" or "20 minutes to 11" and are asked to write these times in both digits and words. This not only reinforces their ability to read the clock but also aids in their comprehension of different ways to express time. Additionally, the worksheet includes a section where students must write the digital time for a given clock face, translating the analog representation into a digital format. For example, a time such as "25 to 5" would be written as 4:35 in digits and "twenty-five to five" in words. The worksheet is an effective tool for building fluency and precision in telling time, catering to young learners who are mastering this essential life skill.
