We use a clock to tell time. We can tell time by saying the hour first and then the minutes.

We use two types of clocks: analog and digital.

The front of an analog clock is called the face. The pieces that move around are called the hands. The shorter hand points to the hour. The longer hand points to the minute.

A digital clock looks different. It shows the time using only numbers.

Write the numbers 1 to 10 on a piece of paper. Next to the number of the analog clock, write the letter of the digital clock that matches.

2. An analog clock with the short hand on 12 and the long hand on 12
3. An analog clock with the short hand on 6 and the long hand on 12
4. An analog clock with the short hand between 10 and 11 and the long hand on 6

7. An analog clock with the short hand between 5 and 6 and the long hand on 9
8. An analog clock with the short hand between 10 and 11 and the long hand on 3
