Let's solve the
"Matching Times" worksheet step by step.
---
🔹 Goal:
Connect each
clock face to its matching
digital time and
word time (e.g., "half past 5").
---
🔹 Understanding "Half Past" Times
- "Half past" means
30 minutes after the hour.
- So, "half past 5" =
5:30, "half past 8" =
8:30, etc.
---
Now let’s analyze each clock:
---
####
Clock 1:
- Hour hand is pointing at
1, minute hand is at
6 (which is 30 minutes).
- So, this is
1:30 →
half past 1
✔ Match:
- Clock 1 →
1:30 →
half past 1
---
####
Clock 2:
- Hour hand is pointing at
11, minute hand is at
6.
- So, this is
11:30 →
half past 11
✔ Match:
- Clock 2 →
11:30 →
half past 11
---
####
Clock 3:
- Hour hand is pointing at
5, minute hand is at
6.
- So, this is
5:30 →
half past 5
✔ Match:
- Clock 3 →
5:30 →
half past 5
---
####
Clock 4:
- Hour hand is pointing at
10, minute hand is at
6.
- So, this is
10:30 →
half past 10
✔ Match:
- Clock 4 →
10:30 →
half past 10
---
####
Clock 5:
- Hour hand is pointing at
8, minute hand is at
6.
- So, this is
8:30 →
half past 8
✔ Match:
- Clock 5 →
8:30 →
half past 8
---
✔ Final Matching Summary:
| Clock | Digital Time | Word Time |
|-------|--------------|-------------------|
| 1 | 1:30 | half past 1 |
| 2 | 11:30 | half past 11 |
| 3 | 5:30 | half past 5 |
| 4 | 10:30 | half past 10 |
| 5 | 8:30 | half past 8 |

📌 How to Draw Lines:
Draw lines from:
-
Clock 1 →
1:30 →
half past 1
-
Clock 2 →
11:30 →
half past 11
-
Clock 3 →
5:30 →
half past 5
-
Clock 4 →
10:30 →
half past 10
-
Clock 5 →
8:30 →
half past 8
---
This completes the matching! The key is recognizing that when the minute hand is on 6, it's always
half past the hour shown by the hour hand.
