Maths: telling the time!

Thursday 08 June 2023

This week, we’ve started to learn how to tell the time.

We know that the minute hand on a clock is the longer hand, and the hour hand is the shorter hand. This helps us to know what the time is.

We’ve learned to read the time when it is o’clock, half past the hour, quarter past and quarter to the hour. Our next challenge is telling the time to 5 minutes!

 Help at home: ask your child if they can tell you the time at o’clock, half past, quarter past or quarter to the hour.
