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

123456789101112 :
  1. The short hand is the hour hand. It points exactly at the 2, so the hour is 2.
  2. The long hand is the minute hand. It points straight up at the 12, which means 0 minutes: the time is on the hour.
  3. Write the hour, a colon, then the minutes with two digits: 2:00.

Answer: 2:00

Teaching tips

  • Ask: where is the long hand? If it points to 12, the time is “o’clock”.
  • Use a real clock with movable hands for the first few problems.
