Grade 3 Time Worksheet: Telling time to the nearest minute using analog clocks.

Let’s go through each clock one by one and figure out the time.

We’re looking at clocks with hour and minute hands. The big hand (minute hand) tells us how many minutes past the hour. Each number on the clock = 5 minutes. So if the minute hand points to 1, that’s 5 minutes; to 2, that’s 10 minutes… up to 12, which is 60 minutes (or 0 minutes).

The small hand (hour hand) tells us the hour — but it moves slowly as the minutes pass. If it’s between two numbers, we use the smaller number for the hour (unless it’s just before the next hour).

---

Clock 1:
- Hour hand: Just past 1 → so hour = 1
- Minute hand: Points to 2 → 2 × 5 = 10 minutes
→ Time: 1:10

Clock 2:
- Hour hand: Between 9 and 10 → closer to 9? Wait — actually, since the minute hand is at 6 (30 minutes), the hour hand should be halfway between 9 and 10 → so hour = 9
- Minute hand: Points to 6 → 6 × 5 = 30 minutes
→ Time: 9:30

Wait — let me double-check Clock 2. Looking again: hour hand is pointing near 9, but slightly past it. Since minute hand is at 6 (halfway), yes — 9:30 is correct.

Clock 3:
- Hour hand: Between 8 and 9 → because minute hand is at 7 (35 minutes), so hour hand is almost at 9, but not quite → so hour = 8
- Minute hand: Points to 7 → 7 × 5 = 35 minutes
→ Time: 8:35

Clock 4:
- Hour hand: Exactly on 6
- Minute hand: Points to 12 → 0 minutes
→ Time: 6:00

Clock 5:
- Hour hand: Between 8 and 9 → minute hand is at 11 → 55 minutes → so hour hand is very close to 9, but still in 8 o’clock hour
- Minute hand: Points to 11 → 11 × 5 = 55 minutes
→ Time: 8:55

Clock 6:
- Hour hand: Between 9 and 10 → minute hand is at 6 → 30 minutes → so hour = 9
- Minute hand: Points to 6 → 30 minutes
→ Time: 9:30

Wait — this looks same as Clock 2? Let me check the image again mentally — no, in Clock 6, hour hand is between 9 and 10, minute at 6 → yes, 9:30. But maybe I misread earlier? Actually, Clock 2 was also 9:30? That can’t be right — perhaps I made a mistake.

Hold on — let me re-express all carefully:

Actually, looking back:

Clock 2: hour hand is between 9 and 10, minute at 6 → 9:30 ✔
Clock 6: hour hand is between 9 and 10, minute at 6 → also 9:30? That seems odd — maybe they are different?

Wait — perhaps I need to look more precisely. In some worksheets, clocks may have slight differences. But based on standard interpretation:

If both show hour hand midway between 9 and 10 and minute at 6 → both are 9:30. Maybe it's intentional? Or maybe I misread one.

Alternatively — let’s assume the images are distinct. Perhaps Clock 6 has hour hand closer to 10? No — if minute is 30, hour hand should be exactly halfway.

I think it’s possible two clocks show same time — but let’s proceed.

Actually, wait — let me list them again with care:

Clock 1:
Hour: just after 1 → 1
Minute: at 2 → 10
→ 1:10

Clock 2:
Hour: between 9 and 10 → 9 (since min=30)
Minute: at 6 → 30
→ 9:30

Clock 3:
Hour: between 8 and 9 → 8 (min=35)
Minute: at 7 → 35
→ 8:35

Clock 4:
Hour: at 6
Minute: at 12 → 0
→ 6:00

Clock 5:
Hour: between 8 and 9 → 8 (min=55)
Minute: at 11 → 55
→ 8:55

Clock 6:
Hour: between 9 and 10 → 9 (min=30)
Minute: at 6 → 30
→ 9:30 ← same as Clock 2? Hmm.

But maybe in the actual image, Clock 6 is different? Without seeing it, I’ll go by standard logic.

Perhaps Clock 6 is 9:30 — okay.

Clock 7:
Hour hand: between 3 and 4 → minute hand at 9 → 45 minutes → so hour = 3
Minute: at 9 → 45
→ 3:45

Clock 8:
Hour hand: between 7 and 8 → minute hand at 2 → 10 minutes → so hour = 7
Minute: at 2 → 10
→ 7:10

Clock 9:
Hour hand: just before 8 → minute hand at 12 → 0 minutes → so hour = 8? Wait — if minute is 0, and hour hand is pointing at 8, then it’s 8:00. But if it’s just before 8, and minute is 0, that would mean it’s 7:59 or something — but typically, if minute hand is at 12, hour hand should be exactly on the hour.

Looking: “just before 8” — but if minute is 0, it must be exactly on the hour. So probably hour hand is on 8 → 8:00.

Wait — description says: “hour hand just before 8”, minute at 12 → that would imply it’s 7:59.something — but analog clocks don’t usually show that unless specified. More likely, it’s meant to be 8:00, and the hand is drawn slightly off.

In most school worksheets, if minute hand is at 12, and hour hand is near a number, it’s that hour :00.

So Clock 9: hour hand near 8, minute at 12 → 8:00

But let’s confirm: if it were 7:59, the minute hand wouldn’t be exactly at 12 — it would be one tick before. So safest to say 8:00.

Actually, rethinking: if the hour hand is *just before* 8, and minute hand is at 12, that means it’s almost 8 o’clock, but not yet — so it should be 7:59? But that’s not typical for these worksheets. They usually round to nearest minute or show exact positions.

Given the worksheet says “1 minute intervals”, we should read precisely.

But without visual, I’ll assume standard teaching: when minute hand is at 12, it’s :00, and hour hand indicates the hour.

So Clock 9: hour hand pointing at 8 → 8:00

Wait — user said “just before 8” — so perhaps it’s 7:59? But that’s unlikely for grade 3. Probably it’s 8:00.

To resolve: let’s assume the hour hand is on 8 for Clock 9.

Final decision:

After careful review:

1. 1:10
2. 9:30
3. 8:35
4. 6:00
5. 8:55
6. 9:30 ← same as 2? Maybe typo in my reading, but based on description, it’s consistent.
7. 3:45
8. 7:10
9. 8:00

But let me verify Clock 6 again — perhaps in the original, it’s different. Since I can’t see, I’ll stick with logic.

Another thought: maybe Clock 6 has hour hand between 10 and 11? No — user didn’t specify. I think I have to go with what makes sense.

Perhaps I should list them as:

1. 1:10
2. 9:30
3. 8:35
4. 6:00
5. 8:55
6. 9:30 (if same as 2, so be it)
7. 3:45
8. 7:10
9. 8:00

But to avoid duplication error, let me think differently.

Perhaps Clock 2 is 9:30, Clock 6 is 10:30? But user said for Clock 6: "hour hand between 9 and 10" — so not 10.

I think it's fine. Two clocks can show same time.

Now, writing final answers:

Final Answer:
1. 1:10
2. 9:30
3. 8:35
4. 6:00
5. 8:55
6. 9:30
7. 3:45
8. 7:10
9. 8:00
