Practice Telling Time to the Nearest Hour and Half Hour

Help your students get a feeling for the time by applying the correct time to the faces of clocks! 

To play, display the slides to your class. Use choral response or call on students to identify the time on analog clocks and find the matching representation.

This resource includes a variety of slides with different activities to help students practice telling time from analog and digital clocks to the nearest hour and half hour using a.m. and p.m.

Differentiating Instruction for Struggling Learners

This activity involves dragging and dropping objects to reinforce the concept of telling time to the nearest hour and half-hour. If any students have difficulty grasping the concept, they can be provided with a handheld clock to use during the activity. This clock will help them understand the minutes associated with each number on the clock face. Once students are comfortable, they can complete the activities without using the clock
