Look at the clock and tap the correct time.
Telling Time to the Hour
Practice reading analog clocks to the hour and build confident time-telling skills.
⭐ Student Tips
The minute hand points straight up to 12 when it’s “o’clock.”
The short hour hand points to the number — that’s the hour (e.g., pointing to 4 = 4:00).
Say it as “4 o’clock,” “9 o’clock,” etc.
📘 Teaching Instruction
Start with clocks showing o’clock times (minute hand on 12).
Have students identify the hour hand first, then confirm the minute hand is on 12.
Use real or demo clocks; cover the minute hand to focus on the hour, then reveal to confirm.
Mix quick checks: show a clock and ask, “What time is it?” with 3 choices to build fluency.
Spiral review by alternating known hours (3:00, 6:00) with less common ones (11:00, 1:00).
