What time is it What time is it? ? Fact Sheet Fact Sheet
Included in this package are some wall charts that you can laminate and
hang up in your classroom.
Suggestion: Use this fact sheet to help explain the wall charts.
There are 2 types of clock: analog and digital.
Digital clocks tell us the time by showing numbers.
Digital clocks show a 12-hour notation with a.m/p.mand some
show a 24-hour notation with hours ranging 0023.
Analog clocks tell the time by the movement of their hands.
All analog clocks have at least two hands. Some have three.
The small hand tells us the hours. The big hand tells us the
minutes. The third hand tells us the seconds.
There are:
60 seconds in 1 minute
15 minutes in a quarter of an hour,
30 minutes in half an hour,
60 minutes in 1 hour,
12 hours in half a day,
24 hours in a whole day.
Noon/midday is when the clock shows twelve oclock in the
middle of the day. We could also say its 12 noon.
Midnight is when the clock shows twelve oclock in the middle of
the night. We could also say its 12 midnight.
a.m. is the period of time from 00.00 to noon. It means ante
meridiem which is Latin for 'before noon'.
p.m. is the period of time from noon to midnight. It means post
meridiem which is Latin for 'after noon'.
Clockwise is the direction in which the hands on a clock move.
Counterclockwise is the opposite direction of clockwise.
