Questions parents & teachers ask

How do I teach telling time to 5 minutes?

Reading minutes is just skip counting by 5s round the face. Practise '5, 10, 15, 20 …' pointing at each number, then read where the long hand lands. Print a fresh sheet, read a few clocks together each day, and check with the answer key — short, regular practice beats one long session.

What grade is telling time to 5 minutes for?

This is usually taught in Grade 2 & Grade 3. Each number on the clock is 5 minutes apart. Skip-count by 5s from the 12 — 5, 10, 15, 20 … — to read any five-minute time, like 7:40 (the minute hand on the 8).

What's the difference between the hour hand and the minute hand?

The short, fat hand is the hour hand — it points to the hour. The long, thin hand is the minute hand — it points to the minutes. On every clock on these worksheets the hour hand creeps forward with the minutes, just like a real clock, so 7:40 reads naturally.
