Anticlockwise Clock Turns
At the vet clinic, Ruben is learning to describe turns on a clock face. Moving anticlockwise goes from 12 towards 9, then 6, then 3. A quarter turn moves between neighbouring quarter-hour positions (for example, from 12 to 9). A half turn is two quarter turns. Use the clock diagrams and show your thinking where needed.
Read the turns
Use the clock-face positions to solve each challenge.
