How to tell the time using a clock face.

Telling the time on a clock face requires us to look at where the hour hand
(short hand) and minute hand (long hand) are pointing.
Example:

What is the time on this clock?

Steps to reading a clock face:
1.Look at the hour hand (short hand). This tells us what the hour is. Example: If it
is between 1 and 2 it is 1 something oclock. If it is between 3 and 4 it is 3
something oclock and so on.
2. Read the minute (long hand). This tell us what the minute is. I can count by 5s
to tell how many minutes it is. Example: If the long hand points to the 4 it is 20
past (5,10,15,20) the hour. If the minute hand is pointing past the 4 I can count
on from there and tell the minutes 23 minutes past 1. If the minute hand is
pointing to the 12 it is no minutes, just 7 oclock.
3.If the minute hand is somewhere before the 6 it is considered something past
the hour if it after the 6 it is considered something to the next hour.
