To solve this worksheet, we need to look at each clock and determine what time it shows. The worksheet asks for "o'clock" times.
How to read an o'clock time:
1. Look at the
big hand (the long one). If it is pointing straight up at the
12, it is exactly "o'clock".
2. Look at the
little hand (the short one). The number it is pointing to tells you the hour.
Let's go through the clocks row by row:
Top Row:
*
First Clock: The big hand is on 12. The little hand is on 2. This is
2 o'clock. (This one is already done for you as an example).
*
Second Clock: The big hand is on 12. The little hand is pointing to
5. This is
5 o'clock.
*
Third Clock: The big hand is on 12. The little hand is pointing to
9. This is
9 o'clock.
Bottom Row:
*
Fourth Clock: The big hand is on 12. The little hand is pointing to
11. This is
11 o'clock.
*
Fifth Clock: The big hand is on 12. The little hand is pointing to
3. This is
3 o'clock.
*
Sixth Clock: The big hand is on 12. The little hand is pointing to
6. This is
6 o'clock.
Final Question:
The question at the bottom asks: *"When the time is an o'clock, which number does the big hand point to?"*
As we saw in all the examples above, for every "o'clock" time, the long big hand points straight up to the
12.
Final Answer:
Top Row:
5 o'clock
9 o'clock
Bottom Row:
11 o'clock
3 o'clock
6 o'clock
Question at the bottom:
12
