Tell Time to the Quarter Hour: what children learn
Students read analog clocks at 15, 30, and 45 minutes past the hour by connecting the minute hand positions to counting by 5s. The hour hand sits just past the hour number until the next hour.
Tell Time to the Quarter Hour: worked example
The hour hand is just past 8. The minute hand points to 3. 8:15
The minute hand on 3 means 15 minutes. The hour hand is just past 8, so the time is 8:15.
Tell Time to the Quarter Hour: a common mistake to watch for
Kids often read the minute hand as an hour, so a minute hand on 3 becomes 3 o'clock instead of 15 minutes.
Tell Time to the Quarter Hour: how to help at home or in class
Fold a paper plate in half and in half again, then write 12, 3, 6, and 9 on the fold marks. Talk about pizza slices: a whole, a half, and a quarter of the way around. Point to your kitchen clock and ask for the time at snack, dinner, and bedtime. When your child reads times like 8:45 correctly, with the short hand nearly at 9, tell time to 5 minutes next.
