Understanding telling time to the half hour

Telling time to the half hour asks learners in Grades 1 to 2 to read o’clock and half-past times on an analog clock. These are the two simplest clock positions: on the hour the minute hand points straight up to the 12, and at half past it points straight down to the 6, while the hour hand sits halfway between two numbers.

For example, when the minute hand is on the 12 and the hour hand is on the 4, the time is 4:00; when the minute hand is on the 6 and the hour hand is between 4 and 5, it is 4:30 (half past four). A common mistake at half past is reading the hour as the number the short hand is approaching rather than the one it has passed. Tip: if the long hand is on the 12 it is something o’clock; if it is on the 6 it is half past, and the hour is the smaller number the short hand has just gone by.
