Telling time worksheets for 1st to 3rd grade

Reading an analog clock is taught in steps: 1st graders learn hours and half hours, 2nd graders move to 5 minutes, and 3rd graders read to the nearest minute.

This pack follows that path over 20 pages: hour, half hour, quarter hour, 5 minutes, then to the minute. Because it spans three grades, you can start wherever a child is and stop when the pages get too hard. Every page has a matching answer key page.

For a single seasonal page, the Halloween telling time worksheet has 12 clocks to read to the nearest 5 minutes.

What you get

The pack is a US Letter PDF (A4 works with fit to page): 20 practice pages, a 20-page answer key, a how-to page with tips for parents and teachers, a color-in progress tracker and a cover page. Download it right after checkout and print as many copies as you need for your family or one classroom.

Tips

• Talk about the short hand first, then the long hand.
