Twelve analog clocks set to five-minute times like 4:35 and 11:10, each with blanks for the hour and the minutes. The hour hand sits where it really would (at 4:35 it's past halfway to 5), which is the part children most often misread. The answer key is on page two.
Telling time builds in steps: to the hour and half hour in 1st grade, quarter hours and five minutes in 2nd, and to the minute plus elapsed time in 3rd. Pick the step that matches your child, or change the settings above.

Questions
What age do kids learn to tell time?
Most children learn the hour and half hour in 1st grade (age 6 to 7), five-minute times in 2nd grade, and the nearest minute in 3rd grade.
Why does my child misread the hour?
Near the end of an hour, the hour hand is almost at the next number. At 4:50 it's close to 5, but the hour is still 4. Ask which number the hand has passed.
