telling time examples grade 1

📚 Quick Study Guide

🕰️ Telling time involves reading the position of the hour and minute hands on a clock.

• 🧭 The hour hand is shorter and points to the hour.
• ⏱️ The minute hand is longer and points to the minutes.
• 🔢 Each number on the clock represents 5 minutes. So, 1 means 5 minutes, 2 means 10 minutes, and so on.
• ☀️ When the minute hand points to 12, it's o'clock. For example, if the hour hand points to 1 and the minute hand points to 12, it's 1 o'clock.
• 🌗 A half hour is when the minute hand points to the 6. If the hour hand is a little past 1 and the minute hand points to 6, it is 1:30 or half past one.
