About this worksheet

A time word problem asks what the clock will say after some hours have passed: if it is 3:00 now, it will be 5:00 in two hours. In first grade the times are on the hour or half hour and the stories add one to four whole hours, so the minutes never change and the child only moves the hour on. On this worksheet each story is one or two sentences, and your child writes the new time on the line.

Support sheets start on the hour and add 1 to 3 hours, standard sheets also start on the half hour, and challenge sheets go past 12 and start the clock again at 1. Counting on with a clock face or fingers works well.

What your child will learn

  • Add whole hours to a time
  • Keep the minutes the same
  • Read a time story and pick out the start time
  • Write a time with a colon, such as 5:30

Common Core standard: 1.MD.B.3

Worked example

It is 3:00 now. What time will it be in 2 hours? Count on: 4:00, 5:00. Write 5:00.

Common mistake

Changing the minutes, or forgetting that after 12:00 the clock goes back to 1:00.
