UNIT 11 // SESSION A // MASTER WHEN READY

The little hand only

Name:Date:

These clocks have ONLY the hour hand. Which hour has it gone past?

1Write the hour it has passed.

a
b
c
d
e
f
g
h

2Nearly, but not quite.

aThe little hand is almost touching the 4 but has not got there. What hour is it?
bThe little hand is halfway between 8 and 9. What hour is it?
cThe little hand is just past the 12. What hour is it?

3Finish the rule.

The hour is the number the little hand has , not the number it is closest to.
Why a whole session on thisAlmost every wrong time answer at this age is an hour hand error. A child who reads 3:45 as "four forty five" has not misread the minutes, she has misread which hour she is in. Fix this first and the rest is easy.
