Telling Time: Draw a Clock From Digits

Name:                              
Date:              

Today I am practising: representing whole-hour and half-hour digital times on an analog clock

1

Draw hands for 2:00.

2

Draw hands for 6:30.

3

Check that the minute hand is at 12 for 9:00.

4

Check that the minute hand is at 6 for 11:30.

5

Label the hour hand on your 4:30 clock.

6

Ask an adult to read one of your clocks and repair it if the digits do not match.

Grown-up guide
  1. Have the child place the minute hand first, then add the hour hand.
  2. For half hours, cue the hour hand to sit halfway toward the next number.
  3. Read the finished clock together before correcting any mismatch.
