Telling the Time Worksheets

29 December 2022
This resource pack contains multiple telling the time worksheets. There are a variety of worksheets containing analog and digital clock faces. Questions range from hour times through to more challenging times involving reading minutes. All images have been produced in very high quality and in full colour.

The clock faces range in style from those without minute intervals to those showing 1-minute intervals. Full digital displays are also used on those worksheets containing digital clocks.

In addition to the standard analog clock faces, there are some worksheets with analog and digital clock faces side-by-side. One clock face will show a time and the students will need to complete the other clock face. This should help develop a stronger connection between telling the time on an analog clock as opposed to a digital clock.

Teaching Tips

  1. Start by introducing the student to the concept of time and the ways in which we measure it, such as with a clock or a watch.

  2. Use hands-on materials, such as a clock with movable hands, to help the student understand how to read the time on a clock.

  3. Begin with the basics, such as telling time to the hour, and then gradually introduce more advanced concepts, such as telling time to the half-hour and quarter-hour.

  4. Use games and activities to make learning about time fun and interactive. For example, you could have the student set a timer and then race to complete a task before the time is up.

  5. Encourage the student to practice telling time in real-world situations, such as when preparing for an event or when planning their daily schedule.

  6. Provide plenty of positive reinforcement and encouragement as the student learns to tell time, and be patient with them as they progress.

  7. Consider using educational resources, such as telling the time worksheets or online games, to supplement your teaching and help the student practice and reinforce their understanding of the concept of time.

Do students need to learn to tell the time using analog clocks?

It is generally recommended that students learn to read both analog and digital clocks. While digital clocks are more commonly used in everyday life, analog clocks are still used in many settings, such as in classrooms and on public transportation. In addition, learning to read an analog clock can help students develop their ability to understand and interpret information presented in a visual format, which is an important skill in many areas of life.

Furthermore, learning to read an analog clock can also help students develop their sense of time and their ability to estimate the passage of time. This can be especially useful for tasks such as completing assignments or projects within a certain time frame, or for planning and organizing their daily schedules.

The telling the time worksheets contain side-by-side clock questions. On one side is an analog clock showing the time and next to it is a digital clock which is blank. Likewise, there are some blank analog clock faces and digital clocks showing the time. Students must complete whichever clock is blank. This is a really good exercise that helps improvise a student’s ability to make the connection between the time shown on digital and analog clocks.

Some interesting facts about clocks and time

Here are some interesting facts about clocks and time:

  1. The word “clock” is derived from the Latin word “clocca,” which means “bell.”

  2. The first mechanical clocks were invented in the 14th century and were powered by weights or springs.

  3. The first public clock was installed in the town of Ipswich, England in 1286.

  4. In the 16th century, the pendulum was introduced as a means of keeping time in clocks, leading to the development of more accurate timekeeping devices.

  5. The concept of time zones was introduced in the late 19th century to accommodate the increasing need for synchronised time across long distances.

  6. The international time standard, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), is based on atomic clocks, which are the most accurate timekeeping devices in the world.

  7. There are approximately 100,000 total days in a human lifetime.

  8. The Earth’s rotation is not perfectly uniform, and as a result, a leap second is occasionally added to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to keep it in sync with the Earth’s rotation.

  9. The shortest day of the year (in terms of the time it takes for the Earth to rotate on its axis) is the winter solstice, which occurs around December 21st in the Northern Hemisphere.

  10. The concept of time has been studied by philosophers and scientists for centuries, and there are many different theories about the nature of time and its role in the universe.
