Nine clocks showing five-minute times such as twenty past and twenty-five to. Children read the hands, write the time in figures in the two boxes, such as 8:35, and in words on the line, such as “twenty-five to nine”. Each number on the clock is five more minutes: count 5, 10, 15, 20 from the 12. Up to 30 the time is “past” the hour; after 30 it is “to” the next hour.

How to do this worksheet

  • Look at the short hand first: it tells the hour. If it is between two numbers, the hour is the smaller one (between 12 and 1 counts as 12).
  • Then look at the long hand to find the minutes.
  • Write the time in figures in the boxes, then in words on the line.
