Nine blank clocks, each with a time above it in words and in figures, such as “quarter to six” and 5:45. Children draw the short hour hand and the long minute hand to show each time. Quarter past: the long hand points to 3, a quarter of the way round. Quarter to: it points to 9, with a quarter of the hour left before the next hour.

  • Print at 100% (actual size); the PDFs are already set up for US Letter and A4.
  • Print the clock face on card stock and slip it into a plastic sleeve to use with a dry-erase marker again and again.
  • Keep the make-your-own clock beside the worksheets so children can set each time before writing it.
