Time Worksheet Oclock, Quarter, and Half past - Free Printable

This worksheet is designed to help students in 2nd grade learn how to tell time using analog clocks. The task involves matching the correct time description (e.g., "Quarter past 2", "Half past 8") with the corresponding clock face.

Let’s go through each clock and verify whether the time shown matches the label beneath it. We’ll explain how to read each clock:

---

How to Read an Analog Clock:

- The hour hand (shorter) points to the hour.
- The minute hand (longer) shows the minutes:
- At 12 → 0 minutes
- At 3 → 15 minutes ("quarter past")
- At 6 → 30 minutes ("half past")
- At 9 → 45 minutes ("quarter to")

Now let's check each one:

---

Row 1:

1. Clock: Hour hand between 2 and 3, minute hand at 3 → 15 minutes
→ Quarter past 2 ✔ Correct

2. Clock: Hour hand between 8 and 9, minute hand at 6 → 30 minutes
→ Half past 8 ✔ Correct

3. Clock: Hour hand between 5 and 6, minute hand at 9 → 45 minutes
→ Quarter to 6 ✔ Correct (45 min = 15 min before 6)

4. Clock: Hour hand at 8, minute hand at 12 → 0 minutes
→ 8 o'clock ✔ Correct

---

Row 2:

5. Clock: Hour hand between 7 and 8, minute hand at 6 → 30 minutes
→ Half past 7 ✔ Correct

6. Clock: Hour hand between 4 and 5, minute hand at 3 → 15 minutes
→ Quarter past 4 ✔ Correct

7. Clock: Hour hand between 3 and 4, minute hand at 6 → 30 minutes
→ Half past 3 ✔ Correct

8. Clock: Hour hand between 12 and 1, minute hand at 9 → 45 minutes
→ Quarter to 1 ✔ Correct (45 min after 12 = 15 min before 1)

---

Row 3:

9. Clock: Hour hand at 12, minute hand at 6 → 30 minutes
→ Half past 12 ✔ Correct

10. Clock: Hour hand between 4 and 5, minute hand at 9 → 45 minutes
→ Quarter to 5 ✔ Correct (45 min after 4 = 15 min before 5)

11. Clock: Hour hand between 11 and 12, minute hand at 3 → 15 minutes
→ Quarter past 11 ✔ Correct

12. Clock: Hour hand at 5, minute hand at 12 → 0 minutes
→ 5 o'clock ✔ Correct

---

Row 4:

13. Clock: Hour hand between 9 and 10, minute hand at 3 → 15 minutes
→ Quarter past 9 ✔ Correct

14. Clock: Hour hand between 1 and 2, minute hand at 9 → 45 minutes
→ Quarter to 2 ✔ Correct (45 min after 1 = 15 min before 2)

15. Clock: Hour hand at 11, minute hand at 12 → 0 minutes
→ 11 o'clock ✔ Correct

16. Clock: Hour hand between 6 and 7, minute hand at 6 → 30 minutes
→ Half past 6 ✔ Correct

---

✔ Final Answer:

All the time labels match correctly with the clock faces.

Summary of Key Concepts:

- O’clock: Minute hand at 12, hour hand on number.
- Half past: Minute hand at 6, hour hand halfway between two numbers.
- Quarter past: Minute hand at 3, hour hand just past the hour.
- Quarter to: Minute hand at 9, hour hand approaching next hour.

This worksheet effectively reinforces telling time in increments of 15 minutes.

✔ All answers are correct as labeled. No corrections needed.
