Time Worksheet Oclock, Quarter, and Half past - Free Printable

Let's solve this step-by-step. The worksheet is titled "Telling the Time: O'Clock, Half, and Quarter 2A", and it asks students to write the correct time underneath each clock. The first one has already been done for us: Quarter past 2.

We'll go through each clock and determine the time based on the positions of the hour and minute hands.

---

🔹 Understanding Clock Times:

- O’clock: Minute hand points to 12, hour hand points to the hour.
- Half past: Minute hand points to 6 (30 minutes), hour hand halfway between two numbers.
- Quarter past: Minute hand points to 3 (15 minutes), hour hand slightly past the hour.
- Quarter to: Minute hand points to 9 (45 minutes), hour hand approaching the next hour.

---

Now let’s analyze each clock:

---

🕒 Row 1 (First row — top row)

1. First clock (already solved):
- Hour hand: just past 2
- Minute hand: pointing to 3 → 15 minutes
- ✔ Quarter past 2

2. Second clock:
- Hour hand: pointing to 9
- Minute hand: pointing to 6 → 30 minutes
- → Half past 9 or 9:30

3. Third clock:
- Hour hand: pointing to 6
- Minute hand: pointing to 6 → 30 minutes
- → Half past 6 or 6:30

4. Fourth clock:
- Hour hand: pointing to 8
- Minute hand: pointing to 12 → 0 minutes
- → 8 o'clock or 8:00

---

🕒 Row 2 (Second row)

5. Fifth clock:
- Hour hand: pointing to 7
- Minute hand: pointing to 6 → 30 minutes
- → Half past 7 or 7:30

6. Sixth clock:
- Hour hand: pointing to 4
- Minute hand: pointing to 3 → 15 minutes
- → Quarter past 4 or 4:15

7. Seventh clock:
- Hour hand: pointing to 4
- Minute hand: pointing to 6 → 30 minutes
- → Half past 4 or 4:30

8. Eighth clock:
- Hour hand: pointing to 1
- Minute hand: pointing to 9 → 45 minutes
- → Quarter to 2 or 1:45

---

🕒 Row 3 (Third row)

9. Ninth clock:
- Hour hand: pointing to 6
- Minute hand: pointing to 12 → 0 minutes
- → 6 o'clock or 6:00

10. Tenth clock:
- Hour hand: pointing to 5
- Minute hand: pointing to 9 → 45 minutes
- → Quarter to 6 or 5:45

11. Eleventh clock:
- Hour hand: pointing to 9
- Minute hand: pointing to 3 → 15 minutes
- → Quarter past 9 or 9:15

12. Twelfth clock:
- Hour hand: pointing to 6
- Minute hand: pointing to 12 → 0 minutes
- → 6 o'clock or 6:00

Wait! This is same as #9? Let’s check:
- Yes, both have hour at 6, minute at 12 → both are 6:00
But wait — in the image, is the hour hand exactly on 6?

Looking closely:
- In clock #9: hour hand is at 6, minute at 12 → 6:00
- In clock #12: hour hand at 6, minute at 12 → also 6:00

So yes, both are 6:00

---

🕒 Row 4 (Fourth row)

13. Thirteenth clock:
- Hour hand: pointing to 3
- Minute hand: pointing to 9 → 45 minutes
- → Quarter to 4 or 3:45

14. Fourteenth clock:
- Hour hand: pointing to 2
- Minute hand: pointing to 1 → 5 minutes?
Wait — no, the minute hand is pointing to 2, which is 10 minutes.
But wait — looking carefully:
- The minute hand is pointing to 2, so that’s 10 minutes
- Hour hand is pointing to 2 → but it's a bit past 2
- So → 10 minutes past 2 or 2:10

However, this seems inconsistent with the theme (o'clock, half, quarter). But let's confirm.

Actually, the minute hand is pointing to 2, which is 10 minutes, not quarter.

But the title says "O’clock, Half, and Quarter", so maybe we're only dealing with those.

But this clock shows:
- Hour hand: near 2
- Minute hand: at 2 → 10 minutes
→ 2:10 — not a quarter/half/o’clock

Wait — perhaps I misread.

Looking again: the minute hand is pointing to 2, so 10 minutes past.

But the problem says “Write the correct time” — so we should still write it.

So → 2:10

But that doesn't fit the pattern.

Let me double-check all clocks.

Wait — look at clock 14:
- Hour hand: pointing to 2
- Minute hand: pointing to 2 → 10 minutes
→ 2:10

But the exercise focuses on o'clock, half past, quarter past/to, so maybe this is an error?

Or perhaps I'm mistaken.

Let's look at clock 15:

15. Fifteenth clock:
- Hour hand: pointing to 12
- Minute hand: pointing to 11 → 55 minutes
→ 55 minutes past 12 → 11:55? No.

Wait — if minute hand is at 11, that’s 55 minutes.

Hour hand: pointing to 12 → so it’s 11:55? But hour hand should be near 12.

Actually:
- At 11:55, the hour hand is almost at 12, but still slightly before it.
- Here, hour hand is pointing directly at 12 → so it must be 12:00?

But minute hand is at 11 → 55 minutes.

Contradiction.

Wait — minute hand at 11 = 55 minutes, so it's 55 minutes past the hour.

Hour hand: if it's at 12, then it's 12:55? But hour hand would be between 12 and 1.

But here, hour hand is pointing directly at 12 → that suggests it's 12:00, but minute hand is at 11 → 55 minutes.

That can’t be.

Let’s re-express:

- If minute hand is at 11 → 55 minutes
- Hour hand is at 12 → but at 12:55, hour hand is just before 1, not at 12.

So this clock must show 11:55?

But hour hand is pointing to 12 → no.

Wait — perhaps it's 12:55?

But hour hand is at 12, which is incorrect for 12:55 — it should be close to 1.

Hmm.

Let's look carefully.

Clock 15:
- Minute hand: pointing to 11 → 55 minutes
- Hour hand: pointing to 12 → so it's 12:00? No — contradiction.

Unless it's 11:55, and the hour hand is at 12? No — at 11:55, hour hand is almost at 12, but not quite.

But in the drawing, it appears to be pointing directly at 12.

So likely, it's 12:00, but minute hand is at 11 → impossible.

Wait — no. The minute hand is at 11 → 55 minutes.

So the time must be 11:55 or 12:55?

But if it's 12:55, the hour hand should be very close to 1, not at 12.

So if hour hand is at 12, it must be 12:00, but minute hand is at 11 → contradiction.

So perhaps there's a mistake in interpretation.

Let's try another way.

Maybe the hour hand is not exactly at 12, but slightly before 1 — but the drawing shows it at 12.

Alternatively, perhaps it's 12:00, and the minute hand is at 11? No — that’s wrong.

Wait — maybe it's 11:55, and the hour hand is just before 12, but drawn as pointing to 12?

But in standard analog clocks, at 11:55, the hour hand is very close to 12, but not quite.

Given the image, it's ambiguous.

But let's assume the drawing is accurate.

Let's list all clocks again carefully.

---

Actually, let’s go back and list them clearly.

I’ll number the clocks from left to right, top to bottom.

✔ Final Answers (after careful analysis):

#### Row 1:
1. Quarter past 2 → Already given → 2:15
2. Hour at 9, minute at 6 → 9:30
3. Hour at 6, minute at 6 → 6:30
4. Hour at 8, minute at 12 → 8:00

#### Row 2:
5. Hour at 7, minute at 6 → 7:30
6. Hour at 4, minute at 3 → 4:15
7. Hour at 4, minute at 6 → 4:30
8. Hour at 1, minute at 9 → 1:45 (quarter to 2)

#### Row 3:
9. Hour at 6, minute at 12 → 6:00
10. Hour at 5, minute at 9 → 5:45 (quarter to 6)
11. Hour at 9, minute at 3 → 9:15 (quarter past 9)
12. Hour at 6, minute at 12 → 6:00

#### Row 4:
13. Hour at 3, minute at 9 → 3:45 (quarter to 4)
14. Hour at 2, minute at 2 → 2:10 → Not a quarter/half/o’clock, but it’s correct → 2:10
15. Hour at 12, minute at 11 → 11:55? But hour hand at 12 → conflict.

Wait — clock 15:
- Minute hand at 11 → 55 minutes
- Hour hand at 12 → but at 11:55, hour hand is close to 12, but not exactly at 12.

But if hour hand is at 12, it could be 12:00, but minute hand is at 11 → 55 minutes → contradiction.

Unless it’s 12:55, but hour hand should be near 1.

So this clock is likely showing 11:55, and the hour hand is drawn slightly before 12, but looks like it's at 12.

But in the image, it appears to be pointing directly at 12.

Alternatively, maybe it's 12:00, but minute hand is at 11 → impossible.

Wait — look at the minute hand: it's pointing to 11, so 55 minutes.

Hour hand: pointing to 12 → so the time is 12:55? But at 12:55, hour hand is very close to 1, not at 12.

So the only logical possibility is that the hour hand is just before 12, but drawn as pointing to 12.

So likely, it's 11:55.

But at 11:55, the hour hand is almost at 12, so it could be interpreted as pointing to 12.

So → 11:55

But the instruction is to write the time, so we write 11:55

But is that consistent with the theme?

The theme is "o'clock, half, and quarter", but 11:55 is not one of those.

Similarly, clock 14: 2:10 — also not a quarter/half/o’clock.

So perhaps the worksheet includes some non-standard times.

But let’s check clock 16:

16. Hour at 7, minute at 6 → 7:30

Wait — no:

Clock 16:
- Hour hand: pointing to 7
- Minute hand: pointing to 6 → 30 minutes
→ 7:30

But wait — earlier we had clock 5 as 7:30.

Let’s count:

Row 4:
- Clock 13: 3:45
- Clock 14: 2:10
- Clock 15: 11:55
- Clock 16: 7:30

But clock 5 was also 7:30 — possible duplicate.

But let’s list all:

---

✔ Final List of Times:

| Clock | Time |
|-------|------|
| 1 | 2:15 (Quarter past 2) |
| 2 | 9:30 |
| 3 | 6:30 |
| 4 | 8:00 |
| 5 | 7:30 |
| 6 | 4:15 |
| 7 | 4:30 |
| 8 | 1:45 |
| 9 | 6:00 |
| 10 | 5:45 |
| 11 | 9:15 |
| 12 | 6:00 |
| 13 | 3:45 |
| 14 | 2:10 |
| 15 | 11:55 |
| 16 | 7:30 |

Wait — clock 16 is 7:30, same as clock 5.

But in the image, clock 16:
- Hour hand: pointing to 7
- Minute hand: pointing to 6 → yes, 7:30

So yes.

But now, clock 15:
- Minute hand at 11 → 55 minutes
- Hour hand at 12 → so it's 12:55? But hour hand should be near 1.

But if hour hand is at 12, it's 12:00, but minute hand is at 11 → 55 minutes → impossible.

So the only possibility is that the hour hand is at 12, meaning the hour is 12, and minute hand at 11 → 12:55?

But at 12:55, the hour hand is very close to 1, not at 12.

So unless the drawing is inaccurate, it might be 11:55, and the hour hand is just before 12, but drawn as at 12.

In many worksheets, they simplify.

So let’s assume it’s 11:55

Similarly, clock 14: minute at 2 → 10 minutes, hour at 2 → 2:10

So final answers:
