A Year 2 telling the time check, over two pupil pages and an answer key. Pupils read six clocks, including half past 5, quarter to 8 and 10 to 9, and draw the hands for quarter past 11, 5 to 3 and half past 12. Two questions follow, one on the minutes in an hour and one on which is later, quarter to 4 or quarter past 4. The key gives every time in words and figures. It follows England National Curriculum measurement for Year 2.
Measurement
“tell and write the time to five minutes, including quarter past/to the hour and draw the hands on a clock face to show these times”
Questions 1 to 6 read times to five minutes. Questions 7 to 9 draw the hands for quarter past 11, 5 to 3 and half past 12.
Measurement
“know the number of minutes in an hour and the number of hours in a day”
Question 10 asks for the number of minutes in an hour.
Two rows of three clocks, each with an answer box. The times are half past 5, quarter to 8, quarter past 1, 20 past 4, 10 to 9 and 25 past 6.
Three blank clocks for quarter past 11, 5 to 3 and half past 12.
Two questions in boxes. Pupils say how many minutes are in an hour, and which time is later, quarter to 4 or quarter past 4.
Each time in words and figures, such as 10 to 9 (or 8:50), and a line saying where both hands point on the three drawn clocks.
End of unit
Give it once pupils have met o'clock, half past, quarter and five-minute times. Mark questions 1 to 6 first to see who can read the clocks.
Close hands
Clock 4 shows 20 past 4 with the hands close together. Ask pupils to say which hand is longer before they write the time.
Regroup after marking
Sort the sheets by question 7. Pupils who placed the hour hand just past 11 are ready to move on. Reteach the hour hand to the rest.
