Time is how we measure moments in the day. A clock shows hours and minutes so we know when things happen.
A clock helps us keep track of daily routines like school, meals, and bedtime.
A digital clock shows time using numbers and a colon (:) between hours and minutes.
Digital clocks are easier to read because they show the exact numbers for the hour and minutes.
An analog clock has a round face with numbers 1 through 12. It has two main hands: the short hand for the hour and the long hand for the minutes.
Always read the hour hand first, then the minute hand.
To match times, compare what the analog clock shows with the numbers on a digital clock.
When you see the same time on both clocks, you know how to connect analog and digital clocks.
We use clocks to plan and organize our day. Knowing how to read both digital and analog clocks helps us stay on schedule.
Practice looking at clocks throughout your day to become faster at reading time.
