Test questions for reading o'clock times with the minute hand

📚 Quick Study Guide

• 🧭 The clock face is a circle with numbers 1 to 12.
• ⏱️ The minute hand is the longer hand on the clock.
• 🔢 At o'clock, the minute hand points to 12. This represents 0 minutes past the hour.
• 🤓 When the minute hand points to 12, we say it's "o'clock".
• 🧐 To read the time, first look at the hour hand to see what hour it is, and since the minute hand is at 12, it is that hour o'clock.
• 💡 For example, if the hour hand is pointing at 3 and the minute hand is pointing at 12, the time is 3 o'clock.
• ✍️ We write o'clock times as [Hour]:00. So 3 o'clock is written as 3:00.
