Telling Time and Reading Clocks

Time for Math!

Reading clocks uses number sense and skip counting.

  • The short hand shows the hour, and the long hand shows the minutes.
  • Each number on the clock is 5 minutes apart.

Knowing how to tell time helps you plan your day and never be late!

Examples

  • If school starts at 8:30 and it's 8:15, you have 15 minutes to get ready.

  • The big hand points to 12 and the little hand to 3 — it's 3:00.
