Tell time to the minute (analogue and digital)

What you'll learn

  1. 1

    Imagine a clock with a long minute hand that crawls around the whole circle. Each tiny tick mark is one minute!

  2. 2

    How many minutes are there between each big number on a clock?

  3. 3

    Let's practise — drag the clock hands to show 3:15.

  4. 4

    What time does this clock show? The minute hand is on the 8.

  5. 5

    Now show 7:23 — count the little ticks carefully!

  6. 6

    If the minute hand is on the 9, how many minutes past the hour is it?

  7. 7

    Look at this digital clock: 2:07. Which clock shows the same time?
