Telling Time Worksheets Grade 4 to the nearest minute - Free Printable

Let’s go clock by clock and figure out the time. Remember:
- The short hand is the hour hand.
- The long hand is the minute hand.
- Each number on the clock = 5 minutes (so if the minute hand points to 1, that’s 5 minutes; to 2, that’s 10 minutes, etc.).
- We count each little tick mark as 1 minute.

---

Row 1:

1. First clock: Already done → 1:11

2. Second clock:
- Hour hand just past 9 → so it’s 9 o’clock something.
- Minute hand pointing at 3 and 4 — let’s count: from 12 to 3 is 15, then 3 more ticks → 18 minutes? Wait, no — actually, between 3 and 4 is 15 to 20. Let’s look closer:
Actually, minute hand is pointing exactly at the 18th minute mark? Wait — better way:
From 12, each big number is 5 min. So:
12→0, 1→5, 2→10, 3→15, 4→20…
This minute hand is between 3 and 4 — specifically, 3 full numbers (15) + 3 small ticks = 18? But wait — looking again:
Actually, in the image, the minute hand is pointing at the 18th minute? No — let me recount carefully.

Wait — I think I made a mistake. Let’s do this systematically for all clocks.

Actually, let’s list them one by one with correct counting:

---

Clock 1 (given): 1:11

Clock 2:
- Hour hand: between 9 and 10 → so hour = 9
- Minute hand: pointing at 18? Let’s see: from 12, go clockwise:
12=0, 1=5, 2=10, 3=15, then 3 more ticks → 18? But wait — actually, in standard analog clocks, the minute hand moves 6 degrees per minute, but we can just count the marks.

Looking at the second clock: minute hand is pointing at the 18th minute mark? Actually, no — let’s check position relative to numbers.

Better approach:
Each number represents 5 minutes. Between numbers are 4 small lines (each = 1 minute).

So for Clock 2:
- Minute hand is pointing at the 3rd small line after 3 → 3×5 = 15, plus 3 = 18 → so 18 minutes.
- Hour hand is just past 9 → so 9:18

But wait — let me double-check with actual positions.

Actually, looking again — perhaps I should write down each one clearly.

Let me make a table:

---

Row 1:

1. Given: 1:11

2. Clock 2:
- Hour hand: slightly past 9 → 9
- Minute hand: pointing at 18? Let’s count: from 12 to 3 is 15, then 3 more → 18 → 9:18

Wait — but in many worksheets, they might expect exact reading. Let me verify with another method.

Actually, let’s look at the third clock in row 1:

3. Clock 3:
- Hour hand: between 3 and 4 → closer to 4? No — actually, since minute hand is near 10, which is 50 minutes, so hour hand should be almost at 4? Wait no — if minute hand is at 10, that’s 50 minutes, so hour hand should be close to next hour.

Wait — I think I’m confusing myself. Let’s start over with clear steps for each clock.

---

I’ll go row by row, left to right.

Row 1:

1. Done: 1:11

2. Clock 2:
- Short hand (hour): between 9 and 10 → so 9
- Long hand (minute): pointing at 18? Let’s count minutes:
From 12, each big number is 5 min.
Pointing at 3 → 15 min, then 3 small ticks past 3 → 15+3=18 → 9:18

3. Clock 3:
- Hour hand: between 3 and 4 → but since minute hand is at 47? Let’s see:
Minute hand pointing at 9 and 10 — specifically, 9 is 45, then 2 more ticks → 47?
Actually, from 12 to 9 is 45, then 2 more → 47 minutes.
Hour hand: since it’s 47 minutes, it should be very close to 4, but still in 3 o’clock hour → so 3:47

4. Clock 4:
- Hour hand: between 10 and 11 → 10
- Minute hand: pointing at 3? 3×5=15, but wait — it’s pointing at 3rd minute? No — let’s see:
Actually, minute hand is pointing at 3 → that’s 15 minutes? But wait, in the image, it’s pointing at the 3rd small mark after 12? No — better:
From 12, to 1 is 5, to 2 is 10, to 3 is 15 — but here it’s pointing at 3 → so 15? But wait, no — looking at the clock, the minute hand is pointing at the 3rd minute mark? I think I need to be precise.

Actually, let’s assume each small tick is 1 minute, and there are 60 ticks.

For Clock 4:
- Minute hand: pointing at 3 → that’s 15 minutes? But wait, in the image, it’s pointing at the 3rd number, which is 15 minutes.
But let’s check: if it’s 10:03? No — that doesn’t match.

Wait — I recall that in such worksheets, the minute hand often points exactly to a number or a clear tick.

Let me try to visualize or recall standard positions.

Perhaps I should look for patterns or use a different strategy.

Another idea: since the first one is 1:11, and it's given, let's trust that and proceed.

Let me list all 16 clocks with careful analysis.

I'll do it step by step for each.

---

Clock 1 (Row 1, Col 1): Given as 1:11 — correct.

Clock 2 (Row 1, Col 2):
- Hour hand: just past 9 → 9
- Minute hand: pointing at 18? Let's count: from 12, move clockwise:
12=0, 1=5, 2=10, 3=15, then 3 more ticks to reach the hand → 15+3=18 → 9:18

Clock 3 (Row 1, Col 3):
- Hour hand: between 3 and 4, but closer to 4? Since minute hand is at 47, it should be close to 4.
Minute hand: pointing at 9 and 10 — specifically, 9 is 45, then 2 more ticks → 47 minutes.
So hour is 3 (since not yet 4) → 3:47

Clock 4 (Row 1, Col 4):
- Hour hand: between 10 and 11 → 10
- Minute hand: pointing at 3? 3×5=15, but wait — it's pointing at the 3rd minute mark? No — in the image, it's pointing at the 3rd number, which is 15 minutes? But let's see: if it's 10:03, that would be minute hand at 3rd tick, but here it's at the number 3, which is 15 minutes.
Actually, looking back, in Clock 1, minute hand at 11 minutes is between 2 and 3 (since 2=10, 3=15, so 11 is 1 past 2).
Similarly, for Clock 4, minute hand is pointing at 3 → that's 15 minutes? But wait, no — in the image for Clock 4, the minute hand is pointing at the 3rd minute mark after 12? I think I have a confusion.

Let me clarify: on a clock, the numbers represent 5-minute intervals. So:
- Number 1 = 5 minutes
- Number 2 = 10 minutes
- Number 3 = 15 minutes
- etc.

The small ticks between numbers are 1 minute each.

In Clock 4 of Row 1:
- Minute hand is pointing directly at the number 3 → so 15 minutes.
- Hour hand is between 10 and 11, but since it's only 15 minutes past, it should be just past 10 → so 10:15? But wait, that doesn't match the position — because if it's 10:15, hour hand should be a quarter of the way to 11, which it is.

But let's check the image description — in the user's image, for Clock 4, the minute hand is pointing at 3, which is 15 minutes, and hour hand is between 10 and 11, so yes, 10:15.

But earlier I thought it was 10:03 — that was wrong.

Let's confirm with Clock 1: minute hand at 11 minutes — which is 1 minute past the 2 (since 2=10), so between 2 and 3, closer to 2.

Similarly, for Clock 4, if minute hand is at 3, it's exactly 15 minutes.

So Clock 4: 10:15

But wait — in the initial problem, the first clock is 1:11, which has minute hand at 11, so between 2 and 3.

For Clock 4, if minute hand is at 3, it's 15 minutes.

Yes.

So Row 1:
1. 1:11
2. 9:18
3. 3:47
4. 10:15

Now Row 2:

Clock 5 (Row 2, Col 1):
- Hour hand: between 8 and 9 → 8
- Minute hand: pointing at 24? Let's see: from 12 to 4 is 20, then 4 more ticks → 24 minutes?
Actually, minute hand is pointing at 4 and 5 — specifically, 4 is 20, then 4 more → 24? But let's count:
From 12 to 4 is 20 minutes, then 4 small ticks to the hand → 24 minutes.
So 8:24

Clock 6 (Row 2, Col 2):
- Hour hand: between 2 and 3 → 2
- Minute hand: pointing at 27? From 12 to 5 is 25, then 2 more → 27 minutes?
Minute hand is at 5 and 6 — 5=25, then 2 ticks → 27 → 2:27

Clock 7 (Row 2, Col 3):
- Hour hand: between 7 and 8 → 7
- Minute hand: pointing at 58? From 12 to 11 is 55, then 3 more → 58 minutes?
Minute hand is at 11 and 12 — 11=55, then 3 ticks to 12? But 12 is 60, so 58 is 2 before 12.
In the image, it's pointing at 58 minutes? Let's see: if it's 7:58, hour hand should be very close to 8, which it is.
So 7:58

Clock 8 (Row 2, Col 4):
- Hour hand: between 5 and 6 → 5
- Minute hand: pointing at 8? 8×5=40, but wait — it's pointing at the 8th number? No — minute hand is pointing at 8, which is 40 minutes? But let's see:
From 12 to 8 is 40 minutes.
Hour hand is between 5 and 6, so 5:40

But wait, in the image, for Clock 8, minute hand is pointing at 8, which is 40 minutes, yes.

So Row 2:
5. 8:24
6. 2:27
7. 7:58
8. 5:40

Now Row 3:

Clock 9 (Row 3, Col 1):
- Hour hand: between 11 and 12 → 11
- Minute hand: pointing at 36? From 12 to 7 is 35, then 1 more → 36 minutes?
Minute hand is at 7 and 8 — 7=35, then 1 tick → 36 → 11:36

Clock 10 (Row 3, Col 2):
- Hour hand: between 4 and 5 → 4
- Minute hand: pointing at 48? From 12 to 9 is 45, then 3 more → 48 minutes?
Minute hand is at 9 and 10 — 9=45, then 3 ticks → 48 → 4:48

Clock 11 (Row 3, Col 3):
- Hour hand: between 12 and 1 → 12
- Minute hand: pointing at 22? From 12 to 4 is 20, then 2 more → 22 minutes?
Minute hand is at 4 and 5 — 4=20, then 2 ticks → 22 → 12:22

Clock 12 (Row 3, Col 4):
- Hour hand: between 9 and 10 → 9
- Minute hand: pointing at 23? From 12 to 4 is 20, then 3 more → 23 minutes?
Minute hand is at 4 and 5 — 4=20, then 3 ticks → 23 → 9:23

Row 3:
9. 11:36
10. 4:48
11. 12:22
12. 9:23

Now Row 4:

Clock 13 (Row 4, Col 1):
- Hour hand: between 6 and 7 → 6
- Minute hand: pointing at 2? 2×5=10, but wait — it's pointing at the 2nd minute mark? No — in the image, minute hand is pointing at 2, which is 10 minutes? But let's see:
Actually, minute hand is pointing at 2 → 10 minutes.
Hour hand is between 6 and 7, so 6:10

But wait, in the image, for Clock 13, the minute hand is pointing at 2, which is 10 minutes, and hour hand is just past 6, so yes.

Clock 14 (Row 4, Col 2):
- Hour hand: between 3 and 4 → 3
- Minute hand: pointing at 43? From 12 to 8 is 40, then 3 more → 43 minutes?
Minute hand is at 8 and 9 — 8=40, then 3 ticks → 43 → 3:43

Clock 15 (Row 4, Col 3):
- Hour hand: between 12 and 1 → 12
- Minute hand: pointing at 59? From 12 to 11 is 55, then 4 more → 59 minutes?
Minute hand is at 11 and 12 — 11=55, then 4 ticks to 12? But 12 is 60, so 59 is 1 before 12.
In the image, it's pointing at 59 minutes? Let's see: if it's 12:59, hour hand should be very close to 1, which it is.
So 12:59

Clock 16 (Row 4, Col 4):
- Hour hand: between 10 and 11 → 10
- Minute hand: pointing at 33? From 12 to 6 is 30, then 3 more → 33 minutes?
Minute hand is at 6 and 7 — 6=30, then 3 ticks → 33 → 10:33

Row 4:
13. 6:10
14. 3:43
15. 12:59
16. 10:33

Now, let's compile all answers in order:

Row 1:
1. 1:11 (given)
2. 9:18
3. 3:47
4. 10:15

Row 2:
5. 8:24
6. 2:27
7. 7:58
8. 5:40

Row 3:
9. 11:36
10. 4:48
11. 12:22
12. 9:23

Row 4:
13. 6:10
14. 3:43
15. 12:59
16. 10:33

I think this is correct. Let me double-check a few.

For example, Clock 3: 3:47 — minute hand at 47, which is 7 minutes before 12, so pointing at 9 and 10 — 9 is 45, so 47 is 2 past 9, which matches.

Clock 7: 7:58 — minute hand at 58, which is 2 minutes before 12, so pointing near 12, which it is.

Clock 15: 12:59 — minute hand at 59, almost at 12, hour hand almost at 1, correct.

Clock 13: 6:10 — minute hand at 2, which is 10 minutes, hour hand just past 6, correct.

All seem consistent.

Final Answer:
1:11, 9:18, 3:47, 10:15, 8:24, 2:27, 7:58, 5:40, 11:36, 4:48, 12:22, 9:23, 6:10, 3:43, 12:59, 10:33
