This worksheet titled
"Time for Summer" is designed to help students practice telling time by drawing the hour and minute hands on analog clocks to match the given digital times.
Let’s go through each time and explain how to draw the clock hands correctly:
---
🔹 Understanding Clock Hands
- The
short hand is the
hour hand.
- The
long hand is the
minute hand.
- Each number on the clock represents 5 minutes (e.g., 1 = 5 min, 2 = 10 min, etc.).
- At :00, the minute hand points to 12.
- At :30, the minute hand points to 6.
- At :15, it points to 3.
- At :45, it points to 9.

✔ Step-by-step Instructions for Each Time
####
Row 1:
1.
12:00
- Hour hand: On
12
- Minute hand: On
12
- Both hands point to 12.
2.
9:35
- Hour hand: Between
9 and 10, closer to 10 (since 35 minutes have passed)
- Minute hand: On
7 (because 35 ÷ 5 = 7)
3.
11:05
- Hour hand: Just past
11
- Minute hand: On
1 (5 minutes = 1 × 5)
4.
10:20
- Hour hand: Slightly past
10
- Minute hand: On
4 (20 ÷ 5 = 4)
---
####
Row 2:
5.
5:55
- Hour hand: Almost at
6, very close to it
- Minute hand: On
11 (55 ÷ 5 = 11)
6.
8:45
- Hour hand: Between
8 and 9, closer to 9
- Minute hand: On
9 (45 ÷ 5 = 9)
7.
4:15
- Hour hand: Slightly past
4
- Minute hand: On
3 (15 ÷ 5 = 3)
8.
2:30
- Hour hand: Halfway between
2 and 3
- Minute hand: On
6 (30 minutes)
---
####
Row 3:
9.
6:25
- Hour hand: Slightly past
6
- Minute hand: On
5 (25 ÷ 5 = 5)
10.
8:10
- Hour hand: Just past
8
- Minute hand: On
2 (10 ÷ 5 = 2)
11.
1:30
- Hour hand: Halfway between
1 and 2
- Minute hand: On
6
12.
11:40
- Hour hand: Between
11 and 12, closer to 12
- Minute hand: On
8 (40 ÷ 5 = 8)

📌 Summary of Hand Positions:
| Time | Hour Hand Position | Minute Hand Position |
|----------|----------------------------|-----------------------|
| 12:00 | 12 | 12 |
| 9:35 | Between 9 & 10 (closer to 10) | 7 |
| 11:05 | Just past 11 | 1 |
| 10:20 | Slightly past 10 | 4 |
| 5:55 | Almost at 6 | 11 |
| 8:45 | Between 8 & 9 (closer to 9)| 9 |
| 4:15 | Slightly past 4 | 3 |
| 2:30 | Halfway between 2 & 3 | 6 |
| 6:25 | Slightly past 6 | 5 |
| 8:10 | Just past 8 | 2 |
| 1:30 | Halfway between 1 & 2 | 6 |
| 11:40 | Between 11 & 12 (closer to 12)| 8 |

✔ How to Draw:
- Use a
short, thick line for the hour hand.
- Use a
long, thin line for the minute hand.
- Make sure both hands start from the center dot.
- Draw them clearly so they don’t overlap incorrectly.

This activity helps build foundational time-telling skills, especially understanding how the hour hand moves gradually as minutes pass.
