Maths: telling the time

Today we did some work on TO and PAST. To be good at telling the time, follow these easy steps:

1. Decide if the minute hand is on the TO or PAST side of the clock.


2. If it is TO, count how many minutes TO the top of the clock. If it is PAST, count how many minutes PAST the top of the clock the minute hand is.


3. If it is TO, look which hour the hour hand is going TO. If it is PAST, look which hour the hour hand has gone PAST.
