How to read it
When the minute hand points down at 6, it's half past. The hour hand sits halfway between two numbers: read the one it has just passed.
Practise with a real clock at home too: ask “what time is it?” at breakfast, after school and at bedtime.
| Clock shows | Say it |
|---|---|
| 6:00 | 6 o'clock |
| 8:30 | half past 8 |
| 2:00 | 2 o'clock |
| 9:30 | half past 9 |
| 4:00 | 4 o'clock |
US Common Core: hours and half hours in Grade 1, nearest 5 minutes in Grade 2. England: o'clock and half past in Year 1, to 5 minutes in Year 2, to the minute in Year 3.
