On analog clocks, children need to learn what the hour hand means, the minute hand means, what time of day it is, and how much time has passed. Learning what the minute hand is saying can be tricky, but with stories, things are a sinch.
Learning about time
At a second grade level, children learn to tell the times quarter past and quarter to. They should already be confident dealing with half past and o'clock from their first grade work.
The skill of telling the time from a clock is separate from general number skills. Some children struggle with telling the time from a clock, and this never comes naturally - only with lots of practice. Other children find it quite easy to tell the time from a clock. This does not necessarily follow general mathematical ability.
At second grade, the skills that children need to develop are:
- to be able to tell times o'clock, half past, quarter past and to;
- to be able to write these times as digital or using the words 'past' and 'to';
- to be able to add or subtract an hour from a given time;
- to be able to solve simple time problems.
Telling the Time - O'clock, Half and Quarter Past & To
The following worksheets are all about learning to tell the times in quarter of an hour intervals.
The worksheets involve converting clock times in to digital time, as well as reading the time using the language 'past' and 'to'.
An answer sheet is available for each worksheet provided.
The worksheets in this section are carefully graded, allowing you to introduce concepts at an easier level before introducing harder work.
Using the sheets in this section will help your child to:
- learn their o'clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to times;
- practice o'clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to;
- convert times into digital.
All the sheets in this section will help your child to develop their learning how to tell the time.
O'clock, Half and Quarter Past & To Times
The sheets have been subdivided into "A" sheets and "B" sheets.
The "A" sheets involve reading the time from a clock and writing the time correctly, using the words "past" and "to"
The "B" sheets involve reading the time from a clock and converting the time to digital time.
