Human Clock Cards

Use the clock faces and clues to help a team of human clocks get ready for the day. Remember: the short hand shows the hour and the long hand shows the minutes. On the clock, 3 means quarter past and 9 means quarter to.

Read the clock cards

Look closely at each clock. Write the digital time or the words for the time.

1.Clock A: The short hand points to 4 and the long hand points to 12. What time is it?
