What's the time? A clock reading worksheet for learning to tell time.

Let’s go clock by clock and figure out the time.

We look at two hands:
- The short hand is the hour hand — it tells us which hour it is.
- The long hand is the minute hand — it tells us how many minutes past the hour.

Remember:
- When the long hand points to 12 → it’s “o’clock” (0 minutes)
- When it points to 6 → it’s “half past” (30 minutes)
- Each number on the clock = 5 minutes (so 3 = 15 min, 9 = 45 min, etc.)

Clock 1 (top left):
- Short hand: between 11 and 12 → so it’s 11 something
- Long hand: pointing at 3 → that’s 15 minutes
→ Time: 11:15

Clock 2 (top middle):
- Short hand: between 8 and 9 → so it’s 8 something
- Long hand: pointing at 6 → that’s 30 minutes
→ Time: 8:30

Clock 3 (top right):
- Short hand: just before 12 → still 11 o’clock
- Long hand: pointing at 6 → 30 minutes
→ Time: 11:30

Clock 4 (middle left):
- Short hand: between 8 and 9 → 8 something
- Long hand: pointing at 9 → 45 minutes
→ Time: 8:45

Clock 5 (middle middle):
- Short hand: just after 1 → 1 something
- Long hand: pointing at 3 → 15 minutes
→ Time: 1:15

Clock 6 (middle right):
- Short hand: between 7 and 8 → 7 something
- Long hand: pointing at 9 → 45 minutes
→ Time: 7:45

Clock 7 (bottom left):
- Short hand: between 10 and 11 → 10 something
- Long hand: pointing at 6 → 30 minutes
→ Time: 10:30

Clock 8 (bottom middle):
- Short hand: between 3 and 4 → 3 something
- Long hand: pointing at 9 → 45 minutes
→ Time: 3:45

Clock 9 (bottom right):
- Short hand: pointing at 5 → exactly 5
- Long hand: pointing at 12 → 0 minutes
→ Time: 5:00
