Let's solve the "Telling Time - Quarter Hour" worksheet step by step. The goal is to read each clock and write the time in the box below it, using the format hour:minute (e.g., 1:15, 2:30).

We'll go through each clock one by one.

Understanding the Clocks

- The hour hand is shorter and points to the hour.
- The minute hand is longer and points to the minutes.
- Since this is a quarter-hour worksheet, the times will be at:
- :00 (on the hour)
- :15 (quarter past)
- :30 (half past)
- :45 (quarter to)

Solving Each Clock

#### 1.
- Hour hand: between 1 and 2 → closer to 1
- Minute hand: pointing at 3 → 15 minutes
- Time: 1:15

#### 2.
- Hour hand: between 6 and 7 → closer to 6
- Minute hand: pointing at 6 → 30 minutes
- Time: 6:30

#### 3.
- Hour hand: between 8 and 9 → closer to 8
- Minute hand: pointing at 9 → 45 minutes
- Time: 8:45

#### 4.
- Hour hand: between 3 and 4 → closer to 3
- Minute hand: pointing at 12 → 0 minutes
- Time: 3:00

#### 5.
- Hour hand: pointing at 9
- Minute hand: pointing at 12 → 0 minutes
- Time: 9:00

#### 6.
- Hour hand: between 1 and 2 → closer to 1
- Minute hand: pointing at 3 → 15 minutes
- Time: 1:15

Wait — same as #1? Let's check:
- Actually, the hour hand is just past 1 → yes, 1:15

But let's double-check:
- Clock 6: minute hand at 3 = 15 min
- Hour hand slightly past 1 → 1:15

Yes, correct.

#### 7.
- Hour hand: pointing at 12
- Minute hand: pointing at 6 → 30 minutes
- Time: 12:30

#### 8.
- Hour hand: between 2 and 3 → closer to 2
- Minute hand: pointing at 3 → 15 minutes
- Time: 2:15

#### 9.
- Hour hand: between 9 and 10 → closer to 9
- Minute hand: pointing at 9 → 45 minutes
- Time: 9:45

#### 10.
- Hour hand: between 8 and 9 → closer to 8
- Minute hand: pointing at 6 → 30 minutes
- Time: 8:30

#### 11.
- Hour hand: between 4 and 5 → closer to 4
- Minute hand: pointing at 3 → 15 minutes
- Time: 4:15

#### 12.
- Hour hand: pointing at 11
- Minute hand: pointing at 12 → 0 minutes
- Time: 11:00

🔍 Explanation Summary:

- When the minute hand is at:
- 12 → 00 (o'clock)
- 3 → 15 (quarter past)
- 6 → 30 (half past)
- 9 → 45 (quarter to)
- The hour hand tells which hour it is, even if it’s not exactly on the number (especially for :15, :30, :45).
- For example, at 1:15, the hour hand is slightly past 1.
