WALT & Success Criteria

WALT: We are learning to tell the time to the hour, half‑hour and quarter‑hour using analogue and digital clocks.

Success Criteria: I can identify o'clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to on analogue clocks; I can read digital clocks showing hours and minutes; I can use words like "o'clock", "half past", "quarter past" and "quarter to".

📚 Part 1: Draw and Select the Time

1. Draw the hands on each empty analogue clock to show the time given.

a) 3 o'clock

b) Half past 7

c) Quarter to 5

2. Which digital time shows quarter past 4?

4:15

4:45

4:30

3. Check all times that are a quarter‑hour (choose all that apply):

1:15

1:30

2:45

3:00

✏️ Part 2: Read, Write and Sequence

4. Write the time in words for these digital clocks.

a) 9:00 — ____________________________

b) 2:30 — ____________________________

5. Put these events in the order they happen during a school morning. Write 1, 2, or 3 next to each.

School starts at 9:00; Morning tea is at 10:15 (quarter past ten); Class finishes at 3:00.

a) Morning tea (10:15) — ____

b) School starts (9:00) — ____

c) Class finishes (3:00) — ____

6. Explain in one sentence: How do you know when a clock shows "half past"?

Support & Extension

Differentiation: Use tactile clock manipulatives, large clear numbers and repeated oral instructions for learners who need extra support. Provide sentence starters for written answers.

Extension: Ask advanced learners to show the time that is 25 minutes after 1:10 and explain how they worked it out.

Dyslexia-friendly option: Read questions aloud and use the worksheet with large print and coloured clock hands for easier visual access.
