Telling Time: Quarter Hour
Look at the clock and tap the correct time.
Telling Time to the Quarter Hour
Practice reading analog clocks at the quarter hour (:15 and :45) to build confident time-telling skills.
⭐ Student Tips
Quarter past the hour = :15 (minute hand on the 3).
Quarter to the next hour = :45 (minute hand on the 9).
The hour hand moves between numbers: at :15 it’s just past the hour; at :45 it’s almost to the next hour.
Read the hour first, then add :15 or :45.
📘 Teaching Instruction
Introduce “quarter past” and “quarter to” as 15 minutes after/before the hour.
Cover the minute hand and identify the hour position; then reveal the minute hand to confirm :15 or :45.
Mix items with o’clock, half-hour, and quarter hour for spiral review.
