KS2 Primary Maths Age 9-13 - Degrees: - Explained

The video tutorial explains how to calculate angles between clock hands. It first addresses finding the smallest angle between the hour and minute hands at 4:00 PM, using the concept of dividing the clock face into degrees. The tutorial then moves on to calculate the angle the hour hand moves from 4:00 PM to 11:00 PM, emphasizing the division of the clock into 30-degree sections. The video concludes with a discussion on the marks awarded for each part of the problem.
