The Hands of Time
The Hands of TimeCount the numerals on the clock. There are only 12 hours on a clock face. So, the hour hand is a short hand.
When the minute hand is pointing to 12, read the time as oclock. In this case, the hour hand is pointing to the 3 and it is three oclock.
Now the minute hand is pointing to 12 and the hour hand is pointing to the 5. So, we read the time as five oclock.
Four QuartersIf we were to slice the clock into 4 equal sections, we would have 4 QUARTERS. Each quarter would represent a 15 minute section.
A Quarter AfterWhen the minute hand is pointing to the numeral 3, we say that the time is A quarter after/past _____. Here, the clock shows a quarter past seven, or 7:15.
A Quarter Til/ToWhen the minute hand is pointing to the numeral 9, we say that the time is A quarter til/to _____. Here, the clock shows a quarter to five, or 4:45.
Half PastWhen the minute hand is pointing to the numeral 6, we say that the time is Half past _____. Here, the clock shows half past 2, or 2:30. Notice how the hour hand is half-way in between the 2 and the 3.
AM/PM12:00 AM is MIDNIGHT (We are sleeping)12:00 PM is NOON (lunchtime)When we say AM, we are referring to the hours before NOON.When we say PM, we are referring to the hours past NOON.
