Math - Grade 2-3

Instructions: Read each problem carefully. Write the time or draw the clock hands as needed. Show your work in the space provided.
  1. 1

    An analog clock has the hour hand just past the 3 and the minute hand on the 2. What time is it?

    Count by fives around the clock from the 12 to the 2.

    The time is 3:10 because the minute hand on the 2 means 10 minutes after the hour.
  2. 2

    Write 7:25 in words.

    The time 7:25 is written in words as seven twenty-five.
  3. 3

    An analog clock has the hour hand between the 8 and 9, and the minute hand on the 6. What time is it?

    The hour hand moves toward the next number as the minutes pass.

    The time is 8:30 because the minute hand on the 6 means 30 minutes after 8.
  4. 4

    Draw the hands on a clock to show 2:45.

    The minute hand points to the 9 at 45 minutes.

    The minute hand should point to the 9, and the hour hand should be between 2 and 3, closer to 3.
  5. 5

    What time is 5 minutes after 4:20?

    Five minutes after 4:20 is 4:25.
  6. 6

    The minute hand is on the 11 and the hour hand is almost at the 10. What time is it?

    When the minute hand is on 11, it is 55 minutes after the hour.

    The time is 9:55 because the minute hand on the 11 means 55 minutes, and the hour hand is almost at 10.
  7. 7

    Circle the time that matches 'six fifteen': 6:05, 6:15, or 6:50.

    The correct time is 6:15 because fifteen means 15 minutes after 6.
  8. 8

    An analog clock shows the minute hand on the 4 and the hour hand just past the 12. What time is it?

    Each number on the clock is worth 5 minutes for the minute hand.

    The time is 12:20 because the minute hand on the 4 means 20 minutes after the hour.
  9. 9

    Write the digital time for 'nine thirty-five'.

    The digital time for nine thirty-five is 9:35.
  10. 10

    Draw the hands on a clock to show 11:05.

    Five minutes after the hour puts the minute hand on the 1.

    The minute hand should point to the 1, and the hour hand should be just past 11.

    What time is 10 minutes after 1:40?

    Ten minutes after 1:40 is 1:50.

    An analog clock has the minute hand on the 8 and the hour hand between 6 and 7. What time is it?

    Count by fives: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40.

    The time is 6:40 because the minute hand on the 8 means 40 minutes after 6.
  13. 13

    Which time comes first: 3:15 or 3:45?

    The time 3:15 comes first because 15 minutes after 3 is earlier than 45 minutes after 3.

    Maya starts reading at 7:10. She reads for 15 minutes. What time does she stop reading?

    Add 5 minutes three times.
