Understanding Time
Time helps us know when to wake up, eat, play, and sleep!
Clocks have two hands - the short hour hand and the long minute hand. The numbers 1-12 show the hours, and each small line between them shows minutes.
How to Read a Clock
1️⃣ Look at the hour hand first - it points to the hour
2️⃣ Then look at the minute hand - count by 5s for each big number
3️⃣ Put them together to say the time!
Let's Practice Together!
Example 1: Interactive Clock
Try clicking the buttons to see different times on the clock!
Example 2: Digital to Analog
8:45
Can you show these times on a real clock at home?
Parent Tips 🌟
- Make a daily schedule with your child and have them write the times for each activity
- Play "What time is it?" games throughout the day using both digital and analog clocks
- Use a timer during activities to help your child understand the passage of time (e.g., "You have 15 minutes to clean your room")
