Frequently Asked Questions
What time skills do 1st graders learn?
First graders tell and write time in hours and half hours using analog clocks, learning which hand shows the hour and which shows the minutes.
How can I help my child with the half hour?
Remember that at half past, the minute hand points at 6. Count the hour hand as 'just past' the hour — 7:30 is half past 7, not 8.
Are these telling time worksheets free and printable?
Yes. Every worksheet is a free, printable PDF with an answer key, and no sign-up is required.
