Nine clocks showing times to the minute, such as seventeen minutes past. Children read the hands, write the time in figures in the two boxes, such as 1:01, and in words on the line, such as “one minute past one”. Count in fives to the last number before the long hand, then on in ones along the small marks: 20, 21, 22, 23.

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.
