Telling the time to 5 minutes worksheet with analog clocks and time writing exercises.

Let’s go clock by clock and figure out the time. Remember:
- The short hand is the hour hand — it tells us which hour we’re in.
- The long hand is the minute hand — each number on the clock = 5 minutes (so 1 = 5 min, 2 = 10 min, 3 = 15 min, etc.).

We’ll read each clock carefully.

Row 1:

Clock 1 (already done):
Hour hand just past 2 → hour = 2
Minute hand on 1 → 1 × 5 = 5 minutes → 2:05

Clock 2:
Hour hand between 8 and 9 → so hour = 8
Minute hand on 5 → 5 × 5 = 25 minutes → 8:25

Clock 3:
Hour hand between 7 and 8 → hour = 7
Minute hand on 2 → 2 × 5 = 10 minutes → 7:10

Clock 4:
Hour hand between 3 and 4 → hour = 3
Minute hand on 10 → 10 × 5 = 50 minutes → 3:50

Row 2:

Clock 5:
Hour hand near 12, but not quite — actually pointing at 12? Wait, no — look: hour hand is just before 12? Actually, let’s check again.

Wait — hour hand is pointing almost at 12, but slightly before? No — actually, looking closely:
Hour hand is pointing at 12? But minute hand is on 9 → that would be 45 minutes. If minute hand is on 9, and hour hand is near 12, then it’s 11:45? Let me think.

Actually — if minute hand is on 9 → 45 minutes. That means the hour hand should be almost at the next hour. So if it’s 45 minutes past, the hour hand is close to the next number.

In this clock:
Minute hand on 9 → 45 min
Hour hand is between 11 and 12, closer to 12 → so hour = 11 → 11:45

Clock 6:
Hour hand between 7 and 8 → hour = 7
Minute hand on 6 → 6 × 5 = 30 minutes → 7:30

Clock 7:
Hour hand between 2 and 3 → hour = 2
Minute hand on 8 → 8 × 5 = 40 minutes → 2:40

Clock 8:
Hour hand on 3 → exactly? Minute hand on 12 → 0 minutes → 3:00

Row 3:

Clock 9:
Hour hand between 8 and 9 → hour = 8
Minute hand on 10 → 10 × 5 = 50 minutes → 8:50

Clock 10:
Hour hand between 12 and 1 → hour = 12
Minute hand on 7 → 7 × 5 = 35 minutes → 12:35

Clock 11:
Hour hand between 11 and 12 → hour = 11
Minute hand on 3 → 3 × 5 = 15 minutes → 11:15

Clock 12:
Hour hand between 5 and 6 → hour = 5
Minute hand on 4 → 4 × 5 = 20 minutes → 5:20

---

Row 4:

Clock 13:
Hour hand between 3 and 4 → hour = 3
Minute hand on 11 → 11 × 5 = 55 minutes → 3:55

Clock 14:
Hour hand between 3 and 4 → hour = 3
Minute hand on 5 → 5 × 5 = 25 minutes → 3:25

Clock 15:
Hour hand between 10 and 11 → hour = 10
Minute hand on 8 → 8 × 5 = 40 minutes → 10:40

Clock 16:
Hour hand between 6 and 7 → hour = 6
Minute hand on 9 → 9 × 5 = 45 minutes → 6:45

Now let’s list all answers in order:

Row 1:
2:05 (given), 8:25, 7:10, 3:50

Row 2:
11:45, 7:30, 2:40, 3:00

Row 3:
8:50, 12:35, 11:15, 5:20

Row 4:
3:55, 3:25, 10:40, 6:45

Double-checking a few tricky ones:

- Clock 5: minute hand on 9 → 45 min, hour hand near 12 → but since it’s 45 min past, it’s still 11 o’clock until 12:00 → yes, 11:45 ✔️
- Clock 8: both hands on 3 and 12 → 3:00 ✔️
- Clock 10: hour hand just past 12, minute on 7 → 12:35 ✔️
- Clock 16: hour between 6 and 7, minute on 9 → 6:45 ✔️

All seem correct.
