Different Kinds of Clocks That We See All Around Us

What an Analog Clock Looks Like Analog clocks have two hands: A longer hand that tells the minutes. A shorter hand that tells the hour. Some clocks also have a red hand which counts the seconds that go by.

Great Work! You got it right! It is 12:00 The first number on a digital clock is the hour. The second number represents the minutes.

What Do the Numbers Mean? A clock has numbers 1-12 on it. Each number is worth 5 minutes. There are 60 minutes in an hour. A clock can be split into 4 equal pieces like a pizza. Each one is worth 15 minutes. You can also say that there are 4 quarters, each quarter equals 15 minutes.

Awesome Job! When we count by 5’s, it does make the 9 = 45 minutes!

How the Clock Works If a clock is to the hour, it looks like this. If a clock says 4:15, another way to say this is quarter past 4. If a clock says 9:30, another way to say this is half past 9. If a clock says 4:45, another way to say this is quarter to 5.

What Are the Different Words Used When Telling Time "O'clock" signals the top of the hour, and the clocks arms will point straight up to the 12. "Quarter -after" is the signal for the clocks arms to reach straight to the right, pointing at the 3. "Quarter ‘til" will point to the 9 on the clock. "…thirty" means bending over and reaching for the clocks toes and the number 6.

Which is it? A.M. or P.M.? AM= morning/daytime PM= night/dark When telling time, we use two special words to tell us what time of day or night it is: AM= morning/daytime 12:00 pm is noon or lunchtime PM= night/dark 12:00 am is midnight

AM or PM? When we eat lunch at school, what time is it? A. 12:45 am B. 12:45 pm

You’re Right! Remember when it is 12:00pm, it is noon time and we also say it’s LUNCH TIME. At our school we eat lunch at 12:45 pm.
