How to approach this skill

Problem: What time does the clock show?

Answer: 4:50

Strategy: Read the hour and minute information separately, then count forward for elapsed-time questions. This example supports the page objective: Read and write analog and digital time to the nearest five minutes.

How to use this worksheet

  • Identify the hour hand first, then count minute intervals around the clock. For this telling time to five minutes set, begin without a timer.
  • Relate elapsed-time problems to a timeline with labeled start and end times. Regenerate only when the learner is ready for another arrangement of the same objective.

Begin with the easy setting when the strategy is new, use standard for independent practice, and reserve challenge for a learner who can explain the method accurately.

Common mistakes to watch

  • Reading the minute hand as an hour number. Watch for this specifically during telling time to five minutes practice.
  • Ignoring that the hour hand moves between numerals as minutes pass. Use the worked correction as the next teaching example.

Use the answer key to find a pattern, then ask the learner to explain one corrected example rather than repeating an entire set immediately.
