Analogue Clock Reading Practice

Aotearoa’s overnight ferry dispatch team uses analogue clocks as a backup when digital systems are unavailable. Read each clock carefully, then apply your time knowledge to the shift schedule. Use 24-hour time where asked.

Read the clocks

Remember: the minute hand makes one full turn in 60 minutes, and the hour hand moves continuously between the hour numbers.

1.Clock A shows the time just before a ferry departs. Write the time in 12-hour digital format.

2.Clock B shows the time a supply vessel arrives in the evening. Write the time in 24-hour format.

3.At the time shown on Clock C, how many minutes have passed since 8:00?

4.The minute hand points to the 8. How many minutes past the hour is it, and what fraction of a full turn has the minute hand completed from 12?

5.A technician says, “At 5:40, the hour hand points directly at 5.” Is this true or false? Explain where the hour hand is and why.

Use time in context

The dispatch team logs times, plans handovers and checks clock-hand movement.

6.A night shift begins at 22:45 and ends at 06:15 the next day. How long is the shift?

7.A radio check is scheduled 2 hours 38 minutes after 21:47. What time is the check?

8.At 3:20, calculate the smaller angle between the hour hand and the minute hand. Show or describe your calculation.

9.A clock’s minute hand moves from 12 to 4. How many degrees does it turn, and how many minutes pass?

10.An analogue clock reads 11:52. How many minutes remain until 12:00, and where will the hour hand be at 12:00?

11.Create a clock reading that is between 6:00 and 7:00, has the minute hand past the 9, and has exactly 12 minutes remaining until 7:00. Write the time and explain how it meets both clues.
