How Does a Clock Work?

A clock has two hands that spin around to tell us the time:

Short Hand: This is the Hour Hand. It tells us the hour.

Long Hand: This is the Minute Hand. It tells us the minutes.

™ Short=Hour, Long=Minute

Remember

Clock Secret: The Hour hand is short and slow, but the Minute hand is long and fast!

Practice

Which hand is the shortest?

The Hour Hand

Long hand at 12, Short hand at 7?

7 o'clock

Long hand at 6, Short hand between 2-3?

Half past 2

How many hands on a standard clock?

Two (usually!)

Try it

Which hand on the clock tells you the HOUR?

Page 4

Page 94: Time Detective

Can You Read the Clocks?

Look closely at the hands to find the time!

If the long hand is on 12, it's an 'o-clock'.

If the long hand is on 6, it's 'half past'.

6:00 vs 2:30

Remember

Drawing Tip: When it's 'half past', the short hour hand moves halfway to the next number!

Practice

Short hand at 6, Long hand at 12?

6 o'clock

Short hand at 3, Long hand at 12?

3 o'clock

Short hand between 8-9, Long hand at 6?

Half past 8

Short hand at 10, Long hand at 12?

10 o'clock

Try it

If the short hand is pointing at 4 and the long hand is pointing at 12, what time is it?

Page 95: The Calendar Year

Early, Late, and the Months!

There are 12 months in a year. January is the first, and December is the last!

Ali's Busy Day:

If Ali is 1 hour early for a 2 o'clock class, he arrived at 1 o'clock.

If he is half an hour late for a 5:30 wakeup, he woke up at 6:00.
