Which worksheet should I start with?
Pick the page that matches what the child can already explain out loud. If they still mix up the two hands, go back to the basics page before printing.
New to clocks
Start with hour and half hour. These questions keep the minute hand on 12 or 6, which makes the hour hand easier to notice.
Ready for quarters
Use the quarter hour worksheet when o'clock and half past feel steady. Watch quarter to, since the hour hand points toward the next hour.
Ready for Grade 3
Use nearest-minute practice before elapsed time. A child should read the starting time quickly before adding an interval.
How teachers and parents can use them
Keep each worksheet short. One page after a lesson is usually enough. Ask the child to say each time before writing it, then use the answer key to talk through any clock that was missed.
Each printable is generated in the browser, so a fresh page gives a different set of questions. Use the New questions button when you need another version for review or homework.
Use the Grade 1-3 learning path when you are unsure which worksheet should come next.
