Max Maths, Year 1, Work Book, Reading a clock

The 'Max Maths' workbook for Year 1 provides engaging exercises for young learners to practice reading a clock. In Practice 1, students are tasked with completing a variety of activities to bolster their understanding of time. The first task (a) asks students to fill in the missing numbers on a clock face, ensuring they understand the correct positioning of all 12 numbers. The second part (b) requires students to draw the minute and hour hands on a blank clock face to illustrate 5 o'clock, reinforcing the concept of hour representation on the clock.

Further exercises include labelling the hands of various clocks with 'minute hand' or 'hour hand', helping to distinguish between the two and their respective lengths and functions. In another activity, students observe the progression of time on different clocks and write down the number of hours that have passed, which aids in developing their ability to calculate time intervals. Lastly, students complete sentences by identifying the positions of the hour and minute hands on illustrated clocks, and stating the time shown. This comprehensive set of tasks is designed to build confidence in telling the time, an essential skill for young learners.
