How to Use These Worksheets

Students read each analog clock and write the time to the nearest 5 minutes.

In the Classroom

Connect to skip counting by 5s. Have students count aloud by 5s from 12 around the clock before writing each answer.

At Home

Practice throughout the day by reading wall clocks. Ask your child to tell you the time whenever they walk past a clock.

Tips for Success

  • Count by 5s from the 12 to find the minutes
  • Read the hour hand first, then count minutes
  • If the minute hand is past 6, the hour is the number before where the hour hand points
  • Use the answer key for self-checking
