Questions parents & teachers ask

What order should kids learn to tell time in?

Start with o'clock times (the minute hand on 12), then half past (on 6), then the quarter hours (3, 6 and 9), and finally every five-minute mark. Each worksheet above sets the clocks to exactly one of those stages so practice stays at the right level.

How do I teach a child to read an analog clock?

Name the two hands first โ€” the short, fat hand is the hour, the long, thin hand is the minutes. Then learn the minute marks by skip-counting round the face in 5s: 5, 10, 15, 20 โ€ฆ On these worksheets the hour hand creeps forward with the minutes, just like a real clock.

What grade is telling time taught in?

O'clock and half past come in Kindergarten and Grade 1; quarter hours in Grade 2; reading to the nearest 5 minutes in Grade 2โ€“3. Pick the page that matches where your child is.
