Telling Time

1
Analogue Clock
The numbers
round the clock
face are hours.
This is an
analogue clock
face.

There are 12
hours marked
on the clock.
2
Telling the time
The lines around
the edge are
minutes.
There are 60
minutes marked
on the clock.
This is because
there are 60
minutes in 1
hour.

Skip Count by 5s
We now know that 60
minutes are on the
clock.
There are 5 minutes
from 12-1, 1-2, 2-3, and
so on.
Count with me by 5s
around the clock!

Telling the time
The small hand
points to the
hours.
The big hand
points to the
minutes.
When the big
hand points to
12 the time is
oclock.
5
Four Quarters
If we were to slice the
clock into 4 equal
sections, we would
have 4 QUARTERS.
Each quarter represents
a 15 minute section.

6
Telling the time
When the big
hand moves from
the 12 to the 3
it is quarter past
the hour.
This is because
the big hand has
moved quarter of
the way around
the clock face.
7
Telling the time
When the big
hand moves from
the 12 to the 6
it is half past the
hour.
This is because
the big hand has
moved half of the
way around the
clock face.
8
Telling the time
When the big
hand moves from
the 9 to the 12
it is quarter to
the hour.
This is because
the big hand only
has quarter of
the clock face to
move to get to
the next oclock.
9
Digital Clock
This is a digital clock.

The hours are to the
left of the colon.
The minutes are to
the right of the
colon.

You can see this on a
cell phone or your
microwave at home!

A.M. and P.M.
12:00 AM is MIDNIGHT 12:00 PM is NOON
We are sleeping at this time. We eat lunch at this time.
When we say AM, we are referring to the hours before NOON.

When we say PM, we are referring to the hours past NOON.

11
AM and PM
Easy way to remember AM and PM!

AM: After-Midnight

PM: Past-Morning

Lets draw it on our clocks and draw our
own example!

Help! My clock is broken!
Match the time on the analog and digital clock
so that the city knows what time it is!
