CBSE Class 3 Math Time Goes On Worksheet with Solutions - Free Printable

Here is the step-by-step solution to the problems on the worksheet.

Part 1: Write AM and PM

To solve this, we need to know the rule for time:
* AM is used for times from midnight (12:00 at night) until just before noon. Think "Morning."
* PM is used for times from noon (12:00 in the day) until just before midnight. Think "Past Morning" or afternoon/evening.

Let's look at each question:

1. Quarter to 12 at night: This is late at night, just before midnight starts a new day. Since it is night, it is AM.
2. 5:30 in the morning: The word "morning" tells us exactly which one to pick. It is AM.
3. 1:40 in the midnight: "Midnight" refers to the very start of the day (12:00 AM). Any time shortly after midnight (like 1:40) is still early morning. So, it is AM.
4. 12 noon: Noon is the middle of the day when the sun is highest. By definition, 12:00 in the day is PM.
5. 12'O clock in the midnight: Midnight is the very beginning of the day. It is written as 12:00 AM.

Part 2: Match the clock with the correct time

We need to read the hands on each clock. The short hand is the hour hand, and the long hand is the minute hand.

Clock 1 (Top):
* The short hour hand is pointing just past the 1.
* The long minute hand is pointing at the 3. On a clock, the 3 represents 15 minutes, which is a "quarter past."
* So, the time is Quarter past 1.

Clock 2 (Middle):
* The short hour hand is halfway between the 1 and the 2.
* The long minute hand is pointing straight down at the 6. On a clock, the 6 represents 30 minutes, which is "half past."
* Wait, let me look closer at the options provided. The options are "Quarter past 1", "Half past 3", and "Quarter to 1".
* Let's re-examine Clock 2 carefully. The short hand is actually pointing near the 1 and the long hand is on the 3? No, looking at the second image crop, the middle clock has the short hand between 1 and 2, and the long hand on 3? No, that was the top clock.
* Let's look at the Middle Clock again. The short hand is pointing towards the 1 (actually it looks like it's past 1). The long hand is pointing at the 3. This matches "Quarter past 1". But wait, I already assigned that to the top clock? Let me re-read the top clock.
* Top Clock: Short hand is on 1. Long hand is on 9. The 9 represents 45 minutes. When the minute hand is on 9, it means there are 15 minutes left until the next hour. So this is "Quarter to". The hour hand is approaching 1. So this is Quarter to 1.
* Middle Clock: Short hand is past 1. Long hand is on 3. The 3 represents 15 minutes past. So this is Quarter past 1.
* Bottom Clock: Short hand is halfway between 3 and 4. Long hand is on 6. The 6 represents 30 minutes past. So this is Half past 3.

Let's double-check the readings:
1. Top Clock: Minute hand is on 9 (Quarter TO). Hour hand is almost at 1. Time: Quarter to 1.
2. Middle Clock: Minute hand is on 3 (Quarter PAST). Hour hand is just past 1. Time: Quarter past 1.
3. Bottom Clock: Minute hand is on 6 (Half PAST). Hour hand is between 3 and 4. Time: Half past 3.

Now we match them to the text boxes on the right:
* Top Clock goes with Quarter to 1.
* Middle Clock goes with Quarter past 1.
* Bottom Clock goes with Half past 3.

Final Answer:

Q Write AM and PM at the appropriate place:
1. Quarter to 12 at night: AM
2. 5:30 in the morning: AM
3. 1:40 in the midnight: AM
4. 12 noon: PM
5. 12'O clock in the midnight: AM

Match the clock with the correct time:
* Top Clock (hands on 1 and 9): Quarter to 1
* Middle Clock (hands on 1 and 3): Quarter past 1
* Bottom Clock (hands on 3/4 and 6): Half past 3
