Let's
look at this clock:
 |
|
 Look at the
lines along the outside edge of the clock. These
lines
represent minutes. Each time the
minute hand
moves to the next line, one minute has passed. |
|
Now let's
look at the numbers around the outside edge of the clock.
|
|
We learned
before that there are
five minutes between each number.
|
|
|
|
Let's
look at some examples to learn the last step.
 |
|
|
We start by
reading the
hour hand
(in red)
which is 4.
Then we read the
minute hand
(in blue)
by counting the lines
. . .1. . .2. . .3!
So it is 4:03.
We could also
say three minutes after four. |
|
|
|
Lets' try
another one! |
 |
We could also say
forty-one minutes after nine.
|
|
|
|
Will you do
another one with me? |
|
We could also
say twelve minutes after five.
|
Yes, you've
got it! |
