WHAT TIME IS IT?

Analogue Clock

The numbers round the clock face are hours.

There are 12 hours marked on the clock.

There are 60 minutes marked on the clock. There are 60 minutes in 1 hour.

The small handpoints to the hours.

The big hand points to the minutes.

When the big hand points to 12 the time is o’clock.

Four Quarters

If we were to slice the clock

into 4 equal sections, we

would have 4 QUARTERS.

Each quarter represents a 15

minute section.

Telling the time When the big hand moves

from the 12 to the 3 it is quarter past the hour.

This is because the big hand

has moved quarter of the way around the clock face.

7

When the big hand moves from the 12 to the 6 it is half past the hour.

This is because the big hand has

moved half of the way around the clock face.

8

When the big hand moves from the 9 to the 12 it is quarter to the hour.

This is because the big hand only has quarter of the clock face to move to get to the next o’clock.
