Understanding Analog Clocks

The video tutorial explains how to tell time using an analog clock. It introduces the clock face and the two types of hands: the minute hand and the hour hand. The tutorial describes how the hands move clockwise and how to read time when the minute hand points to 12 (o'clock) or 6 (half-past). It includes practice questions to reinforce learning and concludes with encouragement to explore more educational videos.
