To solve this problem, we need to change the digital times (like 3:05) into words using the phrase "past," just like in the example box at the top right.
How it works:
When the minutes are less than 30, we say how many minutes have passed
past the current hour.
* The first number is the
hour.
* The second number is the
minutes past that hour.
Let's go through each time one by one:
1.
3:05
* Hour: 3
* Minutes: 05 (which is 5)
* Saying:
5 past 3
2.
10:10
* Hour: 10
* Minutes: 10
* Saying:
10 past 10
3.
11:20
* Hour: 11
* Minutes: 20
* Saying:
20 past 11
4.
8:10
* Hour: 8
* Minutes: 10
* Saying:
10 past 8
5.
7:25
* Hour: 7
* Minutes: 25
* Saying:
25 past 7
6.
9:05
* Hour: 9
* Minutes: 05 (which is 5)
* Saying:
5 past 9
7.
6:20
* Hour: 6
* Minutes: 20
* Saying:
20 past 6
Final Answer:
- 3:05 →
5 past 3
- 10:10 →
10 past 10
- 11:20 →
20 past 11
- 8:10 →
10 past 8
- 7:25 →
25 past 7
- 9:05 →
5 past 9
- 6:20 →
20 past 6
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of telling time worksheet quarter to half past.
