Hour Hands & Half Pasts: Simplifying Time with Tick Tock

This video tutorial teaches how to tell time using analog clocks. It starts with understanding the shorthand, which indicates the hour, and progresses to the longhand, which shows minutes by counting in fives. The tutorial uses examples to demonstrate reading times like 'three O clock' and 'half past ten'.

What does the shorthand on a clock represent?

• The hour

• The seconds

• The day

• The minutes

If the shorthand points to 7 and the longhand points to 12, what time is it?

• 6:00

• 7:00

• 7:30

• 12:00

How do you count the minutes when using the longhand?

• By ones

• By tens

• By fives

• By twos

What does it mean when the longhand points to 6?

• Quarter past the hour

• Half past the hour

• On the hour

• Quarter to the hour

If the shorthand is near 11 and the longhand is on 6, what time is it?

• 10:30

• 12:30

• 9:30

• 11:30
