Telling Time

In math we are learning how to tell time to the hour and half hour on digital and analog clocks. Telling time to the half hour is difficult for some children because the hour hand is not directly on the hour when the minute hand has traveled from the top of the hour to the half hour. What Time Is It? allows students to match a digital clock to the time shown on the analog clock. For practice with writing time, you can create worksheets at The Math Worksheet Site. Please make sure your child clearly shows the difference in length between the hour and minute hands. Likewise, please make sure that when drawing the hands for the half hour your child shows that the hand is BETWEEN the present hour and the next hour. For instance, if it is 4:30, the hour hand should be halfway between the 4 and 5. Have fun!
