Telling the time (O’clock) · Practice set 1

What your child practises

Skills: Telling time: o’clock.

Reading analogue clocks and linking the position of the hands to times of the day.

What’s included

• 8 questions
• An answer key you can print with the sheet or on its own
• An on-screen version with instant marking and stars

Age and school year

Made for ages 5–8. That’s Kindergarten – Grade 3 in the US, Year 1–4 in England, Nursery 2 – Primary 3 in Nigeria and UKG – Class 3 in India.

How to use it

• Print it at home or school – it fits a standard A4 or US Letter page.
• Print the answer key too, so marking takes seconds.
• Play it on screen: answers are marked instantly and children earn stars.
• Write on it on a tablet or touchscreen with a finger or stylus – no printer needed.

Tips for parents and teachers

1. 1Ask “How do you know?” about one answer. Explaining a method builds understanding faster than speed.
2. 2Stop while it is still fun: five focused minutes beat twenty tired ones, and the rest can wait for tomorrow.
3. 3Pick a regular time – after a snack, say – so practice becomes a habit rather than a battle.
