Reading Time

I am a clock. I have numbers from 1 to 12 marked on me. I have two hands, a short hand called the hour hand and a long hand called the minute hand. Some clocks have another hand called the seconds hand.

The hour hand takes one hour to move from one number to the next number. The minute hand moves faster than the hour hand and takes five minutes to move from one number to the next number. The seconds hand moves very faster and it takes five seconds to move from one to the next number.

Let us draw the clock in 3 steps.

Step:1 1,2,3,……59,60.

Step:2 skip count in 5’s as 5,10,15,20,…….55,60.

Step :3 Write 1,2,3,…..12 directlty below 5,10,15,….

12 hours + 12 hours = 24 hours = 1 day

Teacher’s note : Teacher can explain the hour hand, minute hand, and second hand by using clocks.
