Reading time, then showing it
Telling time has two sides: reading a clock and showing a time yourself. Drawing the hands builds the second skill and reveals what students really understand — especially that the hour hand is short and the minute hand is long, and that at half past, the hour hand sits between two numbers.
How to use it
Have students draw a short hour hand and a long minute hand. For the half-hour times, point out that the hour hand is halfway to the next number while the minute hand points to the 6. This is the companion skill to reading time to the half hour and a step toward time to 5 minutes.
👩🏫 Teacher note
Remind students the hour hand is short and the minute hand is long. At half past, the hour hand sits between two numbers, not on one.
🏠 Parent note
Draw a short hand for the hour and a long hand for the minutes. For half past, the long hand points to the 6.
Common Mistakes to Watch For
- Making the hour and minute hands the same length
- Putting the hour hand exactly on the number at half past
Answer Key
The answer key describes where each hand should point.
