12. Hour Hand • This hand moves to the next hour on the face of the clock every time the minute hand moves 60 times, or makes one rotation around the clock. Usually shorter than the minute hand! Back to review

13. Face • This displays large numbers which tell you the hour of time along with 60 hash marks that display what minute it is within the hour. Back to Review

14. Review • Which one is the minute hand? 3 Option 1 Option 2 Option 3 2 1

15. Soooo Close! • Nice try, be sure to check out the hint if you need a little extra help! Hint

16. Hint • Remember the minute hand is the longest hand on the clock that is the same color as the minute hand! Back to Question

17. Right! • Correct! Good Job! Let’s move on.

18. Telling Time • Now we are going to actually identify how to tell the time on the clock itself!

19. Step 1 • There is not always a second hand on every analog clock because time is not standardly told with seconds. So decide if there is a second hand on the clock so you don’t confuse it with the minute hand. Back to Review

20. Step 2 • Locate the minute hand on the clock. This is the hardest step but gets much easier after a few practice runs! Each hour labels five minutes on the face of the clock, so count each one until you locate the minute had counting by fives until you reach the minute hand. If it is between two numbers then count up to the nearest five the clock is at and count the hash marks individually until you locate the minute hand. Back to Review

21. Step 3 • Now locate the shorter hour hand. If it is pointing directly at a number, then that is the current hour we are in. if it is between two numbers, then we are in the hour that the number just passed. Back to Review

22. Review • Now let’s try and test our newly acquired time telling skills!

23. Question 1 • What time is the clock displaying? 9:30 6:35 10:15

24. Wrong • Nice try, Lets go back and review with a hint Hint

25. Hint Slide • Remember if the hour hand is between two numbers, we are in the hour that has last been passed by the hour hand. Back to question

26. Right • Correct! Nice Job!

27. Review transition • Now lets review what we have gone over thus far and answer some final questions

28. Review- Second Hand • If you need to take another look at the second hand lets do so now! Second Hand

30. Review- Hour Hand • Now on to the hour hand, if we need to look at it again, do so now Hour Hand

31. Review- Face • If we need to look at the face of the clock again, let’s do that now Face

32. Review- Step 1 • If you are unsure about the first step of telling time, let’s look at that Step 1

33. Review- Step 2 • If we need another look at step two, do so now Step 2

34. Review- Step 3 • If we need to take a look at step three of telling time, let’s do that now Step 3

35. Final summary • Now we are going to do some final review questions. If you need to take a final look at anything we have discussed be sure to check back and anything you need.
