Reading and Telling Time
How to read time on an analog clock?
Time is represented by Hours, Minutes and Seconds. For this grade we will only learn about Hours and Minutes.
If someone says that the time is 6:15, then 6 represents hours and 15 represents minutes. So the time is 15 minutes past 6. In other words, it is quarter past 6.
If the time is 6:45, then we can read it as 15 minutes to 6 or quarter to 7.
