Maths Topic Thursday

Time

Today we will be learning about telling the time to the nearest hour and half hour on an analogue clock, which just means a clock with hands.

• Remember when the big hand is at 12 it means o’clock and when it is at 6 it is half past the hour.

Warm Up:

• Find something in the shape of a circle to draw round.   Draw a circle clock face in your jotter with the numbers 1-12 around the face in the correct order and position.   Or make a clock face on paper. 

• Find 2 items which you could use as the long hand (minute hand) and the short hand (hour hand) to use on your clock face to practise telling time.

• Watch this video on o’clock and half past times:

Main Task:

• Look at these times with someone at home.  Can you read them correctly?  You can record them in your jotter if you want.

Extra Challenge:

• Can you draw an analogue clock, or make an analogue clock to show these times?
