Reading Clocks and Counting Coins

Knowing how to tell time and use money is important for everyday life!

Telling Time

  • Clocks have hands that point to numbers.
  • The short hand shows the hour, the long hand shows the minutes.
  • We read times like 3 o'clock, 5:30, or quarter past 2.

Counting Money

  • Coins and bills have different values.
  • Add up coins to make purchases or save for something special.

Real-World Use

Time helps us know when to get up, go to school, or play. Money helps us buy things we need or want.

Examples

  • If school starts at 8 o'clock, you know when to leave home.

  • If you have two dimes and a nickel, you have 25 cents.
