Showing Time on an Analog Clock: Drawing Minute and Hour Hands

This video tutorial teaches how to accurately show time on an analog clock by drawing the minute and hour hands. It emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between the shorter hour hand and the longer minute hand. The tutorial provides step-by-step instructions for drawing specific times, such as 6:21 and 2:33, using counting strategies to position the minute hand and understanding the hour hand's position relative to the minutes past the hour. The lesson concludes with a recap of the key points covered.

What is a common mistake when reading time on an analog clock?

• Reading the time backwards

• Confusing the hour hand with the second hand

• Ignoring the second hand

• Mixing up the hour hand and the minute hand

When drawing the minute hand for 6:21, which strategy is used?

• Counting by tens

• Counting by ones

• Counting by fives

• Counting by twos

Why should the minute hand not extend to the hash marks on the clock?

• It is difficult to draw

• It is not how clocks are designed

• It is not accurate

• It makes the clock look cluttered

How do you determine the position of the hour hand when the time is 6:21?

• It should point directly at 6

• It should be halfway between 6 and 7

• It should be closer to 7

• It should be closer to 6

For the time 2:33, where should the hour hand be positioned?

• Exactly at 3

• Closer to 3

• Exactly at 2

• Closer to 2
