Answer key for a 2nd-grade math worksheet on telling time, including o'clock, half past, and quarter past/ to times.

You're looking at “Telling the Time: O’clock, Half and Quarter — Sheet 3 Answers”, which is a completed answer key for a 2nd-grade time-telling worksheet. The goal of the original worksheet was to match analog clock faces with their correct time descriptions (like “quarter past 5”) and digital times (like “5:15”).

Since this is the answer sheet, all the correct matches are already drawn with lines. Let’s break down each row to understand why each match is correct.

---

🕐 Row 1:

- Clock face: Hour hand between 5 and 6 (closer to 5), minute hand on 3 → Quarter past 5
- Digital time: `5:15` → This is correct because 15 minutes past the hour = quarter past.
✔ Match: Quarter past 5 — 5:15

---

🕐 Row 2:

- Clock face: Hour hand on 8, minute hand on 12 → 8 o’clock
- Digital time: `8:00` → Exactly on the hour.
✔ Match: 8 o’clock — 8:00

*(Note: The red line in the image incorrectly connects “3 o’clock” to “4:45”, but that’s an error — we’ll fix it below.)*

---

🕐 Row 3:

- Clock face: Hour hand between 4 and 5 (closer to 5), minute hand on 9 → Quarter to 5 (because 45 minutes past the hour = 15 minutes before 5)
- Digital time: `4:45` → Correct for “quarter to 5”
✔ Match: Quarter to 5 — 4:45

---

🕐 Row 4:

- Clock face: Hour hand halfway between 10 and 11, minute hand on 6 → Half past 10
- Digital time: `10:30` → 30 minutes past 10 = half past
✔ Match: Half past 10 — 10:30

---

🕐 Row 5:

- Clock face: Hour hand on 3, minute hand on 12 → 3 o’clock
- Digital time: `3:00` → Exact hour
✔ Match: 3 o’clock — 3:00

## ❗ Correction Needed:

In the provided image, there’s a mistake in the red matching lines:

- ✘ Red line incorrectly connects “3 o’clock” to “4:45” — that’s wrong.
- ✘ Red line incorrectly connects “8 o’clock” to “10:30” — also wrong.

The blue lines are correct — they show the right matches. The red lines appear to be crossed out or incorrect attempts.

## ✔ Final Correct Matches (Based on Clocks & Times):

| Clock Face Description | Time Phrase | Digital Time |
|-----------------------------|--------------------|--------------|
| Hour=5, Min=3 (15 min) | Quarter past 5 | 5:15 |
| Hour=8, Min=12 | 8 o’clock | 8:00 |
| Hour≈5, Min=9 (45 min) | Quarter to 5 | 4:45 |
| Hour=10.5, Min=6 (30 min) | Half past 10 | 10:30 |
| Hour=3, Min=12 | 3 o’clock | 3:00 |

---

## 💡 Teaching Tip:
- O’clock = minute hand on 12.
- Half past = minute hand on 6 (30 minutes).
- Quarter past = minute hand on 3 (15 minutes).
- Quarter to = minute hand on 9 (45 minutes).

✔ So, the correct solution is to match each clock with its accurate phrase and digital time as shown above — ignore the red lines, follow the blue ones or use the logic explained.
