Nine clocks showing quarter past and quarter to times, with some half past. Children read the hands, write the time in figures in the two boxes, such as 4:15, and in words on the line, such as “quarter past four”. 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.

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.
