3. Hour Hand The hour hand is the short hand on the clock
There are 24 hours in the day
But this clock only shows 12 hours
You need to know whether it is morning or night

4. Minute Hand The minute hand is the long hand on the clock
There are 60 minutes in an hour
We will never say “60 minutes” at the “60,” we start a new hour instead

5. Telling Time to the Hour
First, we need to know how to tell time by the hour
When the hour hand is at a number and the minute hand is at the 12
The clock to the right is at 8 o’clock.

6. Quarter-After
Quarter-after is when the minute hand is at the 3 (or 15 minutes)
It is 15 minutes after the hour
The time on the black clock right now is “quarter-after 12”
We can also see this as 12:15 on digital clocks.

7. Half-Past
When half the hour has gone by, the minute and should be at the 6 (or 30 minutes)
The time on the black clock right now is “half-past 12”
We also see this as 12:30 on digital clocks.

8. Quarter-Till (Or Quarter-Of)
When the minute hand is at the 9 (or 45 minutes) this is quarter-till or quarter-of
There are 15 minutes until the next hour
The time on the purple clock is quarter-till 12
We also see this as 11:45 on digital clocks.

9. Minutes Each blue “dash” on the clock is 1 minute
Each red “dash” is 5 minutes
Sometimes there isn’t always the blue “dashes” so you need to guess
The red and blue clock is at 1:00 because the “12” means “:OO”

10. Five Minutes Every number on the clock also counts for 5 minutes
And so on
The yellow clock is at 5:30
If the long hand was on the “7” it would be 5:35
