To complete this "Make a Clock" activity, you need to follow the directions listed in the top right corner of the page. Here is the step-by-step solution:
Step 1: Fill in the numbers
Look at the circle with the empty squares. These represent the hours on a clock. Starting from the top square and moving clockwise (to the right), write the numbers 1 through 12 in the squares.
* Top square:
12
* Next square to the right:
1
* Continue around:
2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (at the bottom),
7, 8, 9, 10, 11.
Step 2: Color the arrows
The directions say to "Color each arrow."
* Find the long arrow labeled
"minute". You can color this any color you like (often blue or black).
* Find the shorter, thicker arrow labeled
"hour". You can color this a different color (often red or orange) to tell them apart.
Step 3: Cut out the parts
Use scissors to carefully cut along the outside line of the big circle (the clock face). Then, cut out the two arrows (the minute hand and the hour hand).
Step 4: Attach the hands
The directions say to "Attach each hand using a brad."
* Place the clock face flat on your desk.
* Put the hour hand on top of the clock face, lining up the small hole at the bottom of the arrow with the black dot in the center of the clock.
* Put the minute hand on top of the hour hand, also lining up its hole with the center dot.
* Push a metal brad (a fastener with two legs) through the holes of both arrows and the center of the clock.
* Turn the clock over and spread the legs of the brad apart to hold everything together.
Now you have a working paper clock! You can move the hands to practice telling time.
Final Answer:
1. Write numbers 1–12 in the squares around the circle, starting with 12 at the top.
2. Color the minute and hour arrows.
3. Cut out the clock face and the two arrows.
4. Stack the arrows on the center dot of the clock face and secure them with a brad.
