What students practise

I can tell time on a clock.

Students read and draw analog clock times to the hour, half hour, five minutes or minute, and find elapsed time.

Key words

hour hand: the short hand that shows the hour
minute hand: the long hand that shows the minutes
elapsed time: how much time has passed

Common mistakes

Reads the minute hand as the hour.
Reads the next hour when the hour hand is between two numbers.
Counts the start or end time as an extra unit of elapsed time.
