A short labelling task on the parts of an analogue clock for Year 3 maths. Pupils use a word bank to label the minute hand, hour hand, clock face, minute marks and hour numbers on a clock showing 10:09. The second page is the answer key with all five labels. Supports the England National Curriculum objective on telling the time from an analogue clock.
Measurement
“Tell and write the time from an analogue clock, including using Roman numerals from I to XII, and 12-hour and 24-hour clocks”
Naming the parts of the clock is the first step of this objective.
Measurement
“Estimate and read time with increasing accuracy to the nearest minute; record and compare time in terms of seconds, minutes and hours; use vocabulary such as o'clock, a.m./p.m., morning, afternoon, noon and midnight”
The minute marks label sets up reading time to the nearest minute.
The five clock part names pupils choose from.
An analogue clock showing 10:09 with five blank labels, A to E.
The correct name for each of the five labels.
Lesson starter
