Basic Concepts

Telling Time

Reading Clocks and Understanding Time

Time is important for knowing when to wake up, go to school, or play with friends!

Analog Clocks

An analog clock has an hour hand, a minute hand, and sometimes a second hand. The short hand shows the hour. The long hand shows the minutes.

Digital Clocks

A digital clock shows time with numbers, like 7:30.

Counting Minutes

There are 60 minutes in an hour. Each number on the clock represents 5 minutes. Practice counting by fives to tell time quickly!

Real-Life Use

Knowing how to tell time helps you stick to your schedule and never miss a fun event or your favorite show.

Examples

  • The clock shows 3:00, which means it’s three o’clock.

  • If it’s 4:15, it’s a quarter past four.

In a Nutshell

Telling time helps you know when things happen.
