What you'll learn

  1. 1

    Imagine your day: wake up 🛏️, eat breakfast 🥣, go to school 🏫. Things happen in order — that's a sequence!

  2. 2

    Which comes first: brushing your teeth 🪥 or going to bed 🛌?

  3. 3

    Move the clock hands to show 3 o'clock — when school finishes!

  4. 4

    Let's read 7 o'clock together. The long hand points to 12. The short hand points to 7. That's 7 o'clock — bedtime! 🛌

  5. 5

    What does the long hand point to for o'clock?

  6. 6

    Now set the clock to half past 10 — playtime! 🎉

  7. 7

    What time is it when the long hand points to 6 and the short hand points between 2 and 3?
