To draw the hands on a clock correctly, remember these two rules:
1.
The Minute Hand (Long Hand): Points to the exact number for minutes. For example, for 30 minutes, it points straight down at the 6. For 15 minutes, it points right at the 3.
2.
The Hour Hand (Short Hand): Points near the hour number.
* If the time is exactly on the hour (like 2:00), it points directly at the number.
* If the time is half past (like 8:30), it points halfway between the two numbers.
* If the time is quarter past (like 7:15), it points just a little bit past the number.
Here is how to draw each clock:
Row 1:
*
2:00: The minute hand points at
12. The hour hand points directly at
2.
*
8:30: The minute hand points at
6. The hour hand points halfway between
8 and
9.
*
5:30: The minute hand points at
6. The hour hand points halfway between
5 and
6.
Row 2:
*
10:45: The minute hand points at
9. The hour hand points almost at
11 (it is three-quarters of the way from 10 to 11).
*
1:10: The minute hand points at
2. The hour hand points just a tiny bit past
1.
*
9:30: The minute hand points at
6. The hour hand points halfway between
9 and
10.
Row 3:
*
7:15: The minute hand points at
3. The hour hand points just a little bit past
7.
*
8:15: The minute hand points at
3. The hour hand points just a little bit past
8.
*
2:05: The minute hand points at
1. The hour hand points just barely past
2.
