Instructions: Work through each activity carefully. Read the analogue clocks, write times to the nearest five minutes, and use the time facts and schedules to solve the questions. Remember: the long hand shows minutes and the short hand shows hours.
Read the Clock
Read each analogue clock. Write the time in digital form, using a colon between the hours and minutes. The minute hand points to the minute number around the clock.
Write the Time in Words
Write each digital time in words. Use ‘past’ for minutes after the hour and ‘to’ for minutes before the next hour. Remember the special phrases ‘quarter past’ and ‘quarter to’.
