On this sheet
The bus leaves at 3:00. Priya gets to the bus stop 30 minutes early. What time does Priya get there? The puppet show starts at 7:00 and ends at 7:30. How long is the show? Theo and Priya play a board game from 1:30 to 2:30. How long do they play? Ivy wakes up at 5:00. Breakfast is ready 30 minutes later. What time is breakfast? Nora starts reading at 7:30. Nora reads for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Tips for using it
- Draw a quick picture of each story before writing the number sentence.
- Read the hour hand first, then the minute hand.
- At half past, the hour hand is halfway between two numbers; pick the smaller one.
- Count by 5s around the clock for the minutes: 1 means 5, 2 means 10, 3 means 15.
