Telling time to the half hour is super important! It means we're looking at when the minute hand has moved halfway around the clock face, pointing at the number 6. When this happens, the hour hand is halfway between two numbers. We say it's "thirty minutes past" the hour or "half past" the hour. For example, if the hour hand is halfway between the 2 and the 3, and the minute hand is on the 6, it's half past 2, or 2:30!
