🔍 What is a Cootie Catcher?
A cootie catcher is a paper fortune-telling game folded into a small square with flaps. It's often used in classrooms for interactive learning. In this case, it’s adapted to teach
telling time.
---
🕒 Purpose of This Worksheet:
Students will:
- Cut out the square.
- Fold it into a cootie catcher.
- Use it to practice reading analog clocks and matching them to digital times.
- Answer questions like “What time is shown?” or “Which clock shows 1:55?”
---
🧩 How to Solve the Task:
#### Step 1:
Cut Out the Square
Use scissors to cut along the outer edges.
#### Step 2:
Fold the Paper
Follow folding instructions (usually implied):
- Fold each corner to the center.
- Flip over and fold again.
- Write numbers or colors on the outside flaps.
- Inside, there are clocks and times.
#### Step 3:
Read the Clocks
Each circle contains an analog clock. Students must determine what time is shown, rounded to the nearest 5 minutes.
Let’s analyze some examples from the image description:
| Clock | Time Shown |
|-------|------------|
| Clock showing hour hand near 3, minute hand on 7 | 3:35 |
| Clock with hour hand between 1 and 2, minute hand on 11 | 1:55 |
| Clock with hour hand at 6, minute hand on 6 | 6:30 |
| Clock with hour hand between 12 and 1, minute hand on 2 | 12:10 |
| Clock with hour hand between 3 and 4, minute hand on 9 | 3:45 |
| Clock with hour hand between 11 and 12, minute hand on 5 | 11:25 |
> ⏱️ Tip: The minute hand moves in 5-minute increments (each number = 5 minutes). So if the minute hand points to 7 → 7 × 5 = 35 minutes.
#### Step 4:
Match Times to Colors or Numbers
The outside flaps have colors and numbers:
- Blue
- Green
- Red
- Yellow
When a student opens the cootie catcher, they choose a color or number, then open the flap to reveal a clock or time.

✔ Example Problem:
Question: What time does the clock show when the hour hand is between 1 and 2, and the minute hand is on 11?
Answer:
- Minute hand on 11 → 11 × 5 = 55 minutes
- Hour hand between 1 and 2 → 1:55
✔ So, the time is
1:55

🎯 Teaching Objective:
This activity helps students:
- Practice reading analog clocks.
- Reinforce understanding of 5-minute intervals.
- Make learning fun and interactive.
---
📝 Final Notes:
To complete the task:
1. Cut and fold the cootie catcher.
2. Use the flaps to answer time-related questions.
3. Match analog clocks to digital times.
4. Color-code answers using the outside labels (blue, green, red, yellow).
