Practice with clocks and 5-minute intervals
The set gives children varied practice with times such as 2:05, 6:25 and 9:55. Activities may include reading analogue clocks, drawing hands to show a given time, matching clock faces with digital times, and completing simple time sentences. Younger children can begin with clear clock faces and times close to the hour. Older children can work with all five-minute intervals, compare two times, and write the answer in numbers and words. Use the sheets after your child has learnt the hour hand and minute hand.
Use the worksheets in small steps
At home, choose one sheet after a short clock talk. Show a toy clock or a household clock, say a time, and ask your child to find the minute hand before starting the worksheet. In class, children can work in pairs, with one child reading a clock and the other checking the answer. A five-minute time hunt can add movement: ask children to find something that takes about 5, 10 or 15 minutes. Keep a few sheets for revision after a lesson or before a calendar activity.
Help children read the minute hand correctly
A common mistake is to read the number touched by the minute hand as the minutes. Remind your child that each number on the clock represents five minutes when the minute hand is used. Count around the clock together: 5, 10, 15, 20 and so on. Children may also make the hour hand point exactly at the next hour when the time is 4:55. Explain that it is still in the 4 o'clock hour until the minute hand reaches 12. Ask your child to check both hands before writing the answer.
Lumi's tips
- Make it easier by using a paper clock with the minute numbers 5, 10, 15 and 20 written around the face.
- Make it harder by asking your child to order three given times from earliest to latest.
- Link the skill to real life by reading the clock before school, at snack time, and before a favourite daily activity.
