Six pairs of clocks: a start time and an end time. Children read each clock, write the time underneath, then work out how much time has passed, in minutes or in hours and minutes (from 15 minutes to an hour and a half). Count on in fives round the clock face, or jump to the next o’clock first and then add the rest. It builds on reading a clock to the minute and is the skill behind every “how long until” question. Page 2 is the answer key.
