Spanish Telling Time Worksheets: Decir la Hora

About this resource

What's inside this resource

Seven Spanish-language worksheets titled 'Decir la Hora' give students practice reading clock faces and writing the time in words, progressing from telling time to the hour, to the half hour, to the quarter hour, then to digital-clock readings, clock-to-time matching, identifying AM versus PM, ordering times chronologically, solving elapsed-time word problems, and converting between hours and minutes. Each page states its instructions in Spanish (for example, 'Escriba la hora que se muestra en horas') and opens with one worked example before the student items begin, while the Name/Class header line stays in English. The worksheets suit either a Spanish-immersion classroom practicing math vocabulary or a world-language class reinforcing numbers and time-telling terms.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Student can read an analog clock and write the time to the hour, half hour, and quarter hour in Spanish.
Student can distinguish AM from PM for a given time.
Student can calculate elapsed time between a start and end time.
Student can convert between hours and minutes in both directions.

Teaching tips

Assign the seven pages in sequence, since each activity builds on the prior one's precision (hour, then half hour, then quarter hour, then digital time).
Use the matching activity (clock to time) as a quick formative check before moving to the elapsed-time word problems, which require more precise reading.
Pair with a physical or digital clock model for students who are still learning the vocabulary alongside the skill.

Skills covered

Analog time-reading — students read clock faces and write times to the hour, half hour, and quarter hour in Spanish.
AM/PM discrimination — students label given times as 'AM' or 'PM' based on the example format shown.
Elapsed-time calculation — students compute the duration between a start and end time, e.g. 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
Hour-minute conversion — students convert between hours and minutes in both directions (e.g., 3 horas -> 180 minutos and 120 minutos -> 2 horas).

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Since the instructions and clock labels are entirely in Spanish, what audience is this worksheet set designed for?

The vocabulary and phrasing (e.g., 'Escriba la hora,' 'Identifique si la hora es AM o PM') target either a dual-language/immersion classroom teaching math in Spanish or a world-language class reinforcing number and time vocabulary; the Name/Class header line remains in English, suggesting a bilingual classroom setting.
