Interactive Clock | Telling Time

Telling time has never been so fun! This online interactive clock merges both analog and digital versions of clocks so that students can practice telling time with each. Both a fun teaching and learning tool, students and teachers can adjust the controls based on the knowledge and skill level of students.

Using the online teaching clock is simple. Simply drag the hour and minute hands around the clock to adjust the time. When teaching, turn the hour and minute hands on or off to simplify the clock for early learners. The controls are on the top right and left-hand corners. Conveniently, the clock features minute markers around the outside, helping young students learn to read the analog. Dash line circles, which can be toggled on or off in the lower left-hand corner, help students see which minute or hour the hands are pointing to. Turn the digital clock on or off using the button on the bottom right-hand corner. You can also choose between the 12-hour and 24-hour clock using the buttons in the bottom right-hand corner. Finally, add some color and interest to your clock by choosing from the colors on the bottom left-hand side.

The interactive online clock is a versatile classroom tool. Ask students to show a time on the clock and see if they can do it! Or, challenge students to remember what time school ends and have them show that time on the clock. Students can check their own work by toggling the digital display on. You might also display the online clock in your classroom so that students can compare times to your regular classroom clock. For example, you could display the time when you’re scheduled to go to gym class on the interactive clock. That way, students can see how much class time is left. Meanwhile, they’ll practice their time-telling skills!

Telling Time 🕓 Online practice for grades K-3

Here you can practice telling time on an analog clock. You can choose from many options below, such as telling time to the whole hours, whole and half hours, quarter hours, to the minute, and so on. 🕢 This way you can make the practice sessions easier or harder, depending on your student's grade level.

For kindergarten and first grade, choose whole hours. First graders can also tell time to the half hour. In second grade, children should learn to tell time to the quarter hours and to the nearest five minutes, and then in third grade, to the minute.

Fundamental Lessons for Telling the Time

Use worksheets and other aids to help children learn time telling

• Math Tutorials
• Pre Algebra & Algebra
• Exponential Decay
• Worksheets By Grade

Children usually learn to tell time by first or second grade. The concept is abstract and takes some fundamental instruction before children can grasp the concept. You can use several worksheets to help children learn how to represent time on a clock and how to decipher the time on analog and digital clocks.

The Fundamentals

The concept of time may take some time to grasp. But, if you use a methodical approach to explaining how to tell what time it is, your students can pick it up with some practice.

24 Hours in a Day

The first thing that will help young students learn about time is if you explain to them that there are 24 hours in a day. Explain that the clock divides the day into two halves of 12 hours each. And, within each hour, there are 60 minutes. 

For an example, you can explain how there is an 8 o'clock in the morning, like when children are getting ready for school, and an 8 o'clock at night, usually associated with bedtime. Show the students what a clock looks like when it is 8 o'clock with a plastic clock or another teaching aid. Ask the children what the clock looks like. Ask them what they notice about the clock. 

Hands on a Clock

Explain to children that a clock has a face and two main hands. The teacher should demonstrate that the smaller hand represents the hour of the day while the larger hand represents the minutes within that hour. Some students may have already grasped the concept of skip counting by 5s, which should make it easier for children to understand the concept of each number on the clock representing 5-minute increments.

Explain how 12 at the top of the clock is both the beginning and end of the hour and how it represents ":00." Then, have the class count out the subsequent numbers on the clock, by skip counting by 5s, from 1 through 11. Explain how the smaller hash marks between numbers on the clock are minutes. 

Go back to the example of 8 o'clock. Explain how "o'clock" means zero minutes or :00. Usually, the best progression for teaching children to tell time is to start in larger increments, like start with children only identifying the hour, then move to the half-hour, then the quarter hour, and then intervals of 5 minutes. 

Worksheets for Learning Time

Once students understand that the small hour hand represents the 12-hour cycle and the minute hand points to 60 unique minutes around the clock face, they can begin practicing these skills by attempting to tell the time on a variety of clock worksheets.

• Blank clocks worksheet
• Telling time to the nearest 5 minutes
• Telling time to the nearest minute
• Two worksheets for filling in random times:  Worksheet 1  and  worksheet 2
• Fill in the digital times for analog clocks
• Miscellaneous time worksheets

Other Teaching Aids

Engaging multiple senses in learning helps support understanding and providing manipulatives and hands-on experiences enhance the learning experience.

There are many plastic-type clocks that are available to help children learn time concepts. If you can't find mini plastic clocks, have your students make paper clocks using a butterfly clip . When a child has a clock to manipulate, you can then ask them to show you various times. Or you can show them the digital time and ask them to show you what it looks like on an analog clock.

Incorporate word problems into the exercises, such as it is now 2 o'clock, what time will it be in a half an hour.

Time and Clock Worksheets

Welcome to the time worksheets page at Math-Drills.com where taking your time is encouraged! On this page you will find Time math worksheets including elapsed time, telling time on analog clocks, calendars and converting time worksheets.

The calendars come in two different formats: yearly (all on one page) and monthly when you need extra space or a larger layout. The calendars are very useful in conjunction with the elapsed time worksheets with days, weeks, months, and years. Students who have difficulty visualizing a calendar may need the actual calendars to use as a reference. Telling time on analog clocks is still an important skill despite the number of digital clocks around; many people still choose the analog clock design for aesthetic purposes.

Most Popular Time and Clock Worksheets this Week

The calendars on this page are meant for anyone to use for purposes including personal schedules, classroom planning, holiday calendars, business meetings, event calendars, or anything else. They can also be used in math activities such as elapsed date activities. A simple activity with the monthly calendars is to ask students to place an item or mark on specific spots on the calendar (e.g. "Place a bean on a Tuesday in March."). After students become familiar with how a calendar is laid out and works, you can create more challenging activities like finding elapsed dates, discovering the number of days in each month, scheduling activities, etc.

Yearly calendars are a great way to see an entire year on one page. Although not easy to write on all your appointments and anniversaries, they are a quick reference and can be very useful when completing math activities to familiarize students with calendars or more advanced activities with calendars.

Specific yearly calendars for the years 2000 to 2050 are available in this section. For any other year or if you want a custom title, you can use the general yearly calendars with fillable titles. There are seven general yearly calendars and seven general leap year calendars in two different formats (Sunday to Saturday and Monday to Sunday) which will cover any year from 1583 on.

• Yearly Calendars (Sunday to Saturday format) Yearly Calendars for Specific Years from 2000 to 2050 (Fillable Title) General Yearly Calendars ✎ (Fillable Title) General Leap Year Calendars ✎
• Yearly Calendars (Monday to Sunday Format) Yearly Calendars for Specific Years from 2000 to 2050 (Monday to Sunday Format) (Fillable Title) General Yearly Calendars (Monday to Sunday Format) ✎ (Fillable Title) General Leap Year Calendars (Monday to Sunday Format) ✎

A great number of math activities can be accomplished with monthly calendars. Familiarization activities include finding specific dates, determining which day of the week it is, marking important events on the calendar, and determining the number of days in each month, week or year. Further activities mainly include elapsed date activities where students find the number of days, weeks and/or months between two dates or find a date a certain number of months, weeks and/or days in the future or the past. Of course, these calendars can also be used as normal reference calendars by anyone.

Originally, Math-Drills calendars always started on Sundays, but there are many people in the world who use calendars starting on Mondays. A good argument can be made by thinking of the word, "weekend." The end of the week or week end is Saturday and Sunday, so why would you put Sunday at the beginning of the week? Luckily, both options exist, so pick the one that suits you the best.

Fillable means that you can type whatever you like into each date. It is possible to add up to seven short lines of text. This is useful if you want to write important dates onto the calendar or create activities for students (e.g. what date is 78 days from today?).

Reading and Sketching Time on Analog Clocks

Even though the time is displayed digitally in so many places these days—on cell phones, on computers, on microwaves—there are still quite a few analog clocks around. Besides being able to tell time on an analog clock, this is probably one of the first places that students encounter a number system other than base ten. Thanks to the Babylonians et. al. we have 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour. Once your students master the intricacies of the time system, they can start learning about other useful number systems like hexadecimal and binary, both of which are heavily used in computer programming.

Suns and moons are included with each clock to indicate the time of day. Think of the moon as midnight and the sun as noon. If the clock has a moon (midnight) on the left and a sun (noon) on the right, then the time is between midnight and noon (AM in North America). The reverse means that the time is between noon and midnight (PM in North America).

These clock worksheets include hour and minute hands, so students who are starting to learn reading time on analog clocks only have to worry about two arms. There are a variety of intervals available depending on the level of the student. The goal is to get students to be able to tell time to the minute. There are versions with twelve clocks and versions with four large clocks.

• Reading 12 Hour Time from Clocks with Minute Hands (12 Clocks per Page) Reading 12 Hour Time in One Hour Intervals (12 Clocks) Reading 12 Hour Time in 30 Minute Intervals (12 Clocks) Reading 12 Hour Time in 15 Minute Intervals (12 Clocks) Reading 12 Hour Time in 5 Minute Intervals (12 Clocks) Reading 12 Hour Time in 1 Minute Intervals (12 Clocks)
• Reading 12 Hour Time from Clocks with Minute Hands (4 Clocks per Page) Reading 12 Hour Time in One Hour Intervals ( 4 Large Clocks ) Reading 12 Hour Time in 30 Minute Intervals ( 4 Large Clocks ) Reading 12 Hour Time in 15 Minute Intervals ( 4 Large Clocks ) Reading 12 Hour Time in 5 Minute Intervals ( 4 Large Clocks ) Reading 12 Hour Time in 1 Minute Intervals ( 4 Large Clocks )

These worksheets also include second hands in various intervals. These are best to use after students have mastered reading time to the minute. The addition of a third hand challenges them more and helps them understand how many seconds are in a minute.

• Reading 12 Hour Time from Clocks with Second Hands (12 Clocks per Page) Reading 12 Hour Time in 30 Second Intervals (12 Clocks) Reading 12 Hour Time in 15 Second Intervals (12 Clocks) Reading 12 Hour Time in 5 Second Intervals (12 Clocks) Reading 12 Hour Time in 1 Second Intervals (12 Clocks)
• Reading 12 Hour Time from Clocks with Second Hands (4 Clocks per Page) Reading 12 Hour Time in 30 Second Intervals ( 4 Large Clocks ) Reading 12 Hour Time in 15 Second Intervals ( 4 Large Clocks ) Reading 12 Hour Time in 5 Second Intervals ( 4 Large Clocks ) Reading 12 Hour Time in 1 Second Intervals ( 4 Large Clocks )

Students encounter 24 hour time in various places such as on plane tickets, in computer programming and in literature. These worksheets are similar to reading 12 hour clocks, but include a second set of numbers on the inside of the minute ticks.

• Reading 24 Hour Time from Clocks with Minute Hands (12 Clocks per Page) Reading 24 Hour Time in One Hour Intervals (12 Clocks) Reading 24 Hour Time in 30 Minute Intervals (12 Clocks) Reading 24 Hour Time in 15 Minute Intervals (12 Clocks) Reading 24 Hour Time in 5 Minute Intervals (12 Clocks) Reading 24 Hour Time in 1 Minute Intervals (12 Clocks)
• Reading 24 Hour Time from Clocks with Minute Hands (4 Clocks per Page) Reading 24 Hour Time in One Hour Intervals ( 4 Large Clocks ) Reading 24 Hour Time in 30 Minute Intervals ( 4 Large Clocks ) Reading 24 Hour Time in 15 Minute Intervals ( 4 Large Clocks ) Reading 24 Hour Time in 5 Minute Intervals ( 4 Large Clocks ) Reading 24 Hour Time in 1 Minute Intervals ( 4 Large Clocks )

These 24 hour clocks also include second hands, so students can read time represented on clocks to the nearest second.

• Reading 24 Hour Time from Clocks with Second Hands (12 Clocks per Page) Reading 24 Hour Time in 30 Second Intervals (12 Clocks) Reading 24 Hour Time in 15 Second Intervals (12 Clocks) Reading 24 Hour Time in 5 Second Intervals (12 Clocks) Reading 24 Hour Time in 1 Second Intervals (12 Clocks)
• Reading 24 Hour Time from Clocks with Second Hands (4 Clocks per Page) Reading 24 Hour Time in 30 Second Intervals ( 4 Large Clocks ) Reading 24 Hour Time in 15 Second Intervals ( 4 Large Clocks ) Reading 24 Hour Time in 5 Second Intervals ( 4 Large Clocks ) Reading 24 Hour Time in 1 Second Intervals ( 4 Large Clocks )

Once students are able to read time off of analog clocks, they can be challenged to sketch time. This might seem easy, but analog clocks tend to have a small quirk in that the hands don't always point to the exact number. For example, if it is 6:30, the hour hand will be half way between the 6 and the 7. Taking time to point this out to students will ensure they succeed on these worksheets.

• Sketching Times to Minutes on 12 Hour Analog Clocks (12 Clocks per Page) Sketching 12 Hour Time in One Hour Intervals (12 Clocks) Sketching 12 Hour Time in 30 Minute Intervals (12 Clocks) Sketching 12 Hour Time in 15 Minute Intervals (12 Clocks) Sketching 12 Hour Time in 5 Minute Intervals (12 Clocks) Sketching 12 Hour Time in 1 Minute Intervals (12 Clocks)
• Sketching Times to Minutes on 12 Hour Analog Clocks (4 Clocks per Page) Sketching 12 Hour Time in One Hour Intervals ( 4 Large Clocks ) Sketching 12 Hour Time in 30 Minute Intervals ( 4 Large Clocks ) Sketching 12 Hour Time in 15 Minute Intervals ( 4 Large Clocks ) Sketching 12 Hour Time in 5 Minute Intervals ( 4 Large Clocks ) Sketching 12 Hour Time in 1 Minute Intervals ( 4 Large Clocks )

Once students have mastered sketching in the hour and minute hands, it is time to add the second hands. As with the hour hand, the minute hand doesn't always point exactly to the minute. For example, if it is 6:30:45, the minute hand will be about 3/4 of the way to the :31 mark. If they have learned this about the hour hand already, it shouldn't be too much of a leap to get them to understand this about the minute hand.

• Sketching Times to Seconds on 12 Hour Analog Clocks (12 Clocks per Page) Sketching 12 Hour Time in 30 Second Intervals (12 Clocks) Sketching 12 Hour Time in 15 Second Intervals (12 Clocks) Sketching 12 Hour Time in 5 Second Intervals (12 Clocks) Sketching 12 Hour Time in 1 Second Intervals (12 Clocks)

Very much the same as sketching on 12 hour clocks, these worksheets use 24 hour time.

• Sketching Times to Minutes on 24 Hour Analog Clocks (12 Clocks per Page) Sketching 24 Hour Time in One Hour Intervals (12 Clocks) Sketching 24 Hour Time in 30 Minute Intervals (12 Clocks) Sketching 24 Hour Time in 15 Minute Intervals (12 Clocks) Sketching 24 Hour Time in 5 Minute Intervals (12 Clocks) Sketching 24 Hour Time in 1 Minute Intervals (12 Clocks)

Converting Time

It is a very useful skill to be able to convert between 12 and 24 hour time in a global world. Even in places, like the U.S., where 12 hour time is used a lot, students still see time formatted in 24 hour time in a wide variety of situations.

• Converting Between 12- and 24-Hour Times Converting 12- to 24-Hour time Converting 24- to 12-Hour time Converting Between 12- and 24-Hour time

Converting between time units worksheets are useful to test students understanding of time measurement and to give them more practice.

• Converting Between Seconds, Minutes, Hours, Days and Weeks (one step up or down) Converting between seconds, minutes and hours (one step up or down) Converting between seconds, minutes, hours and days (one step up or down) Converting between seconds, minutes, hours, days and weeks (one step up or down)
• Converting Between Seconds, Minutes, Hours, Days and Weeks (one or two steps up or down) Converting between seconds, minutes and hours (one- or two-steps up or down) Converting between seconds, minutes, hours and days (one- or two-steps up or down) Converting between seconds, minutes, hours, days and weeks (one- or two-steps up or down)

Elapsed Time Worksheets

Elapsed time refers to the amount of time that has passed between a start time and a finish time. This can be challenging to students if they are not completely familiar with the base 60 system used for second, minutes and hours, and the fact that there are 24 hours a day sometimes split into morning and afternoon times.

• Elapsed Time to Minutes Elapsed Time with 1 Minute Intervals; Max 5 Hours Elapsed Time with 5 Minute Intervals; Max 5 Hours Elapsed Time with 15 Minute Intervals; Max 5 Hours Elapsed Time with 1 Minute Intervals; Max 24 Hours Elapsed Time with 5 Minute Intervals; Max 24 Hours Elapsed Time with 15 Minute Intervals; Max 24 Hours
• Elapsed Time to Seconds Elapsed Time with 1 Minute/Second Intervals; Max 5 Hours Elapsed Time with 5 Minute/Second Intervals; Max 5 Hours Elapsed Time with 15 Minute/Second Intervals; Max 5 Hours Elapsed Time with 1 Minute/Second Intervals; Max 24 Hours Elapsed Time with 5 Minute/Second Intervals; Max 24 Hours Elapsed Time with 15 Minute/Second Intervals; Max 24 Hours

The elapsed date worksheets in this section are based on a three column table with ten rows. Each different version of the elapsed date table will challenge students in different ways. The worksheets that ask students to find the end date are given a start date and an elapsed time. These worksheets work well for starting at a specific point and counting up. The worksheets that ask students to find the start date, elapsed time or the end date will have random blanks in the table, so students may have to figure out the elapsed time forwards or backwards. Below you will find various challenges including elapsed time with days only, then we progressively add weeks, months, and years to the worksheets.

Please note that when finding future dates, it is important to start with the largest unit first and progress to the smaller units. For example, if the start date is February 8, 2020 and the elapsed time is 3 years, 2 months, 3 weeks and 6 days, you would add the three years first to get February 8, 2023. Next, add the months to get April 8, 2023. Finally, add the weeks and days to get May 5, 2023. You can add the weeks and days together as they are both exact lengths whereas years and months vary in size.

• Calculate End Dates from Start Dates and Elapsed Times in Days, Weeks, Months and Years Calculate End Date for Various Elapsed Days Calculate End Date for Various Elapsed Days + Weeks Calculate End Date for Various Elapsed Days + Weeks + Months Calculate End Date for Various Elapsed Days + Weeks + Months + Years
• Calculate Elapsed Time Between Two Dates in Days, Weeks, Months and Years Calculate Elapsed Time Between Two Dates in Days Calculate Elapsed Time Between Two Dates in Days + Weeks Calculate Elapsed Time Between Two Dates in Days + Weeks + Months Calculate Elapsed Time Between Two Dates in Days + Weeks + Months + Years
• Calculate Start Dates from End Dates and Elapsed Time in Days, Weeks, Months and Years Calculate Start Date from End Date and Elapsed Time in Days Calculate Start Date from End Date and Elapsed Time in Days + Weeks Calculate Start Date from End Date and Elapsed Time in Days + Weeks + Months Calculate Start Date from End Date and Elapsed Time in Days + Weeks + Months + Years

Adding and Subtracting Time

Adding and subtracting time is similar to adding any numbers, but the regrouping amounts are different. If you think of the decimal system, numbers are divided into places named: ones, tens, hundreds, etc. In time values, the places have different values based on an ancient Babylonian numbering system with a base of 60. In the "seconds place," there are 60 unique seconds from 0 to 59. The same is true for the "minutes place." The "hours place" can vary from 24 if one is interested in counting days as well, or can be greater than 24 if the largest place value is in the hours place. In these worksheets, students are challenged to regroup seconds and minutes as they add or subtract two time amounts.

40 Fun Fraction Games and Activities for Kids

Math wouldn't be half as fun without activities and online games like these. Continue Reading

Interactive Clock with analog and digital display

Introduction.

The clock for learning time has movable hands. It has three main modes, the first demonstrates how to tell the time using an analogue clock. The second mode uses the the clock hands as a way of learning angles. The third mode uses the clock as a way to help understand fractions. The clocked can be altered to change colors and its overall styling. Note in this activity different controls are shown depending on the current mode

Common Controls

The controls above the mode selector are always displayed. At the top you will see a digital clock, below are three buttons. Click the 12 button to display in normal 12 hour format with AM/PM. Click 24 button to change to the 24 hour format. Often you won't want to display the time at all, click off and the digital clock will disappear.

The clock can be used to display the current time (based on the clock of the computer you are using). Click the real time to toggle this feature. This is useful as children can observe how the clock changes throughout the day. For random time problems click the random button and the clock hands will spin to produce a random time. So this is great for lots of quick fire questions.

When the clock is not showing the actual real time, then small handles appear at the end of the hands, these and dragged into position.

Time mode controls.

First select time mode , below are a set of controls. These can be used in time problems or to view how much time has elapsed when showing the actual real time. The first one displays the hours passed. The second one the minutes that have passed. Underneath reset button sets both back to zero.

So a brief example of how to use them would be click random time. Now ask what the class what time will be in say 1hour and 25 minutes. To demonstrate this click reset , so both minutes and hours are zero. Now drag the clock hand forward until the hours is 1 and the minutes is 25. The clock now displays the answer to the initial problem.

Angles mode

Clocks have always been a useful way to teach about angles. This clock has angle measurements built in. First set the mode to angles, to get the control set.

In angles mode you will now see a protractor button click it to toggle the display of the protractor. Next is the auto toggle button, click to turn it on and you will notice the protractor lines up automatically to measure the angle. Move the clock hands and the protractor will follow. Below the protractor button is a slider use this to change the size of the protractor. When measuring angles the large clock hands can be made thin for better accuracy by clicking thin . To display the angle click Ang , and click Arc to display the angle arc. When dragging the minute hand it currently snaps to the nearest minute, turn this feature off by clicking snap . Finally the type of angle can be changed using the select control . So you can choose the angle between the hour hand and minute hand, both clockwise and anti-clockwise. Or measure the angle of the second hand from 12 o'clock. This works very well with the realtime setting as children can see a full angle of 360° turned every minute. This helps learning of key angles such as 0°, 90°, 270° etc. Also conversions such as 30 secs * 6 = 180°

Fractions mode

Select fraction on the mode control to use the clock to teach fractions. Time statements such as 'a quarter past', 'half past' and 'a quarter to' obviously are linked to fraction.

In the fraction mode a circle sector is painted from 12 o'clock to the minute hand position. Two large fractions are displayed the fraction of an hour shows the unsimplified fraction of minutes÷60. The simplified fraction is the same fraction cancelled down when possible.

The simple button toggles removal of the hour and second hands to give a simplified view. You can also click thin to toggle the thinner clock hands. The clock is divided according to the divider lines control. The default setting is auto, this divides the clock according to the fraction displayed. Essentially the clock is divided depending on the simplified fraction. However you can turn off auto mode and divide the clock according to the number selected.

Percentages can also be shown by clicking to toggle the percentage display.

Styling the Clock

Select the style mode to access controls. So for example to change the colour of the numbers, click numbers followed by a colour from the colourpicker . To remove the numbers completely click 'X' in the colour picker. You can do this with other parts of the clock too, which obviously can make reading the clock more difficult.

Related activities

Further lessons on the telling the time involve comparison of two different times the two clocks activity is excellent in this regard and can also generate time questions.

To expand on the angles try Basic angles which can be used to examine types of angles such as acute,obtuse and reflex. It can also so be used to create many different types of random angle problems.

Having seen a circular fraction in this activity, the interactive fraction wall can also be used for further teaching of fractions.

Telling the Time

Related worksheets.

Read the time on an analogue clock. Lots of choice over levels, including: reading time to the nearest hour, half hour, quarter hour, five minutes or minute. Options include using a 24 hour clock and seeing how many correct answers you can get in a given time.

Printables Help

Printables show a draft version while you're editing - press the Print Preview and a better quality version is created for you to print or download as a PDF.

Use the High Quality setting for much more detailed PDF documents and better looking printouts.

Printables also include an Black Ink option which optimises the worksheet for monochrome printers and photocopiers. This mode will also save ink on all types of printer.

When printing directly from the web site use a margin setting of None , Minimal or Narrow for best results.

Although printing from iPads and mobile devices is getting much better, using download as PDF will probably still produce the most reliable results.
