About this worksheet
Clock faces are drawn with all 60 minute marks, and the hour hand moves between numbers as it does on a real clock, so students learn to read its exact position.
Each sheet contains 8, 12 or 16 problems (your choice) and is generated at random. Press “New problems” as many times as you like; there is no limit and no account needed.
Worked example
:
- The short hand is the hour hand. It has passed the 1 but has not reached the 2, so the hour is 1.
- The long hand is the minute hand. It points at the 5. Count by fives from the 12: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25. That is 25 minutes.
- Write the hour, a colon, then the minutes with two digits: 1:25.
Answer: 1:25
Teaching tips
- Count by fives around the clock before starting the sheet.
- Use a real clock with movable hands for the first few problems.
