What kids do
“Draw the short hour hand and the long minute hand to show each time.”
Teacher tip
Remind kids that at half past, the hour hand sits halfway between two numbers, not on the next one.
How to use it
- Count by fives around the clock together before kids start.
- Connect it to your real schedule: what time is lunch, recess, the bus?
- Do the first problem together under a document camera, then let kids finish on their own.
Watch for
Counting minutes by ones from the 12 instead of by fives.
Talk about it
- Where does the hour hand point at half past?
- Which problem was the hardest? What made it hard?
