Example
Example: the starting sheet — six clocks, quarter past, half past and quarter to
Sheet: Read the clock — write the time; Times: Quarter past and quarter to; Clock: 12-hour; 6 clocks per page; numbers 1 to 12; US Letter; sheet number 1; answer pages on.
- Page 1 has the title Telling time, Name and Date lines, “What time is it? Write the time under each clock.” and six clocks, each with a box to write the time in.
- The quarter level uses o’clock and half past too, which is why 9:30 and 8:30 are on this sheet.
| Clock | Answer | Where the hour hand points |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 9:30 | Halfway between 9 and 10 |
| 2 | 7:45 | Three quarters of the way from 7 to 8 |
| 3 | 11:15 | A quarter of the way from 11 to 12 |
| 4 | 8:30 | Halfway between 8 and 9 |
| 5 | 4:15 | A quarter of the way from 4 to 5 |
| 6 | 6:15 | A quarter of the way from 6 to 7 |
A two-page PDF, telling-time.pdf: the worksheet, then the answers. Sheet number 2 gives six new times; with Five-minute steps and 9 clocks, sheet 1 asks for 8:40, 2:55, 2:45, 3:05, 9:00, 3:50, 4:05, 3:30 and 2:10.
How it works
- Choose whether the children read the clocks or draw the hands.
- Pick the times: o’clock, half past, the quarters, five-minute steps or any minute.
- Choose how many clocks go on a page and how many pages.
- Download the PDF; the answers follow the questions.
Frequently asked questions
- Which level should I start with?
- O’clock first, then half past, then quarter past and quarter to, then five-minute steps: roughly first grade to third. Any minute is for children who can already read the five-minute marks.
- How is the 24-hour sheet different?
- The clock face is the same — it cannot show morning or afternoon — so “morning” or “afternoon” is written under each clock and the answer is the 24-hour time, 15:45 rather than 3:45. On the drawing sheet the times are written the 24-hour way and the child draws the hands.
- Do the hour hands point in the right place?
- Yes. The hour hand moves on through the hour, as on a real clock: at half past three it points halfway between 3 and 4, not at the 3.
- Can I print a different sheet with the same settings?
- Change the sheet number. The times come from that number and the settings, so the preview is exactly what you print, and no time repeats on a page.
- Does the quarter level include o’clock and half past?
- Yes: it uses every quarter hour, :00, :15, :30 and :45, so children practise quarter past and quarter to alongside the times they already know.
- How many different times can a sheet have?
- 12 at o’clock only, 24 with half past, 48 at the quarters, 144 in five-minute steps and 720 at any minute. No time repeats on a page, even on a 12-clock o’clock sheet, which uses all twelve.
- Is anything uploaded?
- No. The sheet is made in your browser. On the free plan a small line with our name is printed at the foot of the last page.
