Practice Half-Past Times on an Analog Clock
Level 2 of 5 — 1st Grade, late Kindergarten
Once you can read the hours, the next step is "half past." When the minute hand points straight down to 6, exactly 30 minutes have passed since the last full hour. The hour hand sits halfway between two numbers, which is your cue.
Skills You Will Practice
- ✓Recognizing the minute hand at 12 (on the hour)
- ✓Recognizing the minute hand at 6 (half past)
- ✓Understanding "half past" language
- ✓Reading the hour hand when it sits between two numbers
How This Drill Works
Clocks in this drill show the minute hand either at 12 (on the hour) or at 6 (half past). Focus on the hour hand position to determine whether you see 1:00 or 1:30, 5:00 or 5:30, and so on.
