About this worksheet

First graders tell and write time in hours and half-hours using analog and digital clocks. The hardest part is coordinating the two hands. The long hand tells whether the time is exactly on the hour or halfway to the next hour, while the short hand may sit between numbers at half past. This worksheet isolates those decisions with clocks, digital times, and wording such as half past. Support pages use only o'clock times at first; standard and challenge versions include half-hours and mixed choices. Children may read the long hand correctly but name the next hour too soon. Ask them to point to the short hand first, then the long hand, and say whether it is at twelve or six before choosing the written time.

What your child will learn

  • Read clocks to the hour
  • Read clocks to the half hour
  • Match analog and digital times
  • Use o'clock and half past language

Worked example

When the long hand points to 6 and the short hand is between 3 and 4, the time is 3:30.

Common mistake

Calling 3:30 four o'clock because the short hand has moved toward the 4.

Helpful hint

Read the short hand first, then check whether the long hand is at 12 or 6.
