Product description

From the author

This analog time lesson teaches students in grades 2-5 all about an analog clock:

  • The hour hand

  • The minute hand

  • How to read 24-hour clock times

It is a 4-page handout and worksheet combination that your students can refer back to again and again. It is a great study aid.

The handouts teach the tips, tricks, and patterns students need to learn to be able to read an analog clock face. There are so many free clock worksheets out there. This lesson is different because it teaches your students all the concepts to read an analog clock. Use this lesson first, and then you can print some basic analog clock face worksheets to use for consolidation of learning.

Page 1: The Hour Hand: This page clearly explains to students how to read the hour hand and how not to get tricked when it is close to the next number.

Page 2: 24-Hour Clock: This page teaches students about 24-hour clocks, the key benchmarks, and the pattern rule to read afternoon times using the 24-hour clock system.

Page 3 and 4: The Minute Hand: These pages teach students about the minute hand, the pattern rule to calculate the minutes when reading an analog clock, and how to read times in between each number.

  • A full answer key is included!
