Telling time to the nearest 5 minutes means looking at the hour and minute hands on a clock. The hour hand tells you which hour it is, and the minute hand tells you how many minutes past the hour. Each number on the clock represents 5 minutes. So, if the minute hand is pointing at the 1, it's 5 minutes past the hour. If it's pointing at the 2, it's 10 minutes past the hour, and so on! Keep practicing, and you'll be a time-telling whiz in no time!
