Telling Time Worksheet
In a world where telling time is getting easier and easier, analogic watches are becoming obsolete – but we’re not quite there yet. Analogic watches are still everywhere; train stations, hospitals, etc.
That’s why we’ve created the perfect telling time worksheet to teach kids and people – no judging, I still lag out a little bit when doing so – how to read an analogic watch.
It’s very simple, but they require some guidance on how to do it. This particular worksheet works more as a test in that sense, but it’s still quite useful to teach them.
How to use this worksheet?
To use this worksheet all you have to do is:
- Print it. Print it in color, because it’s easier that way.
- Explain the person the first two examples.
- Allow them to fill the test.
- And finish the evaluation by assessing each answer.
It’s important that you also explain that the watch works in cycles of twelve hours in the a.m. for daytime and the p.m. for nighttime.
If the results are not quite what you expect, you can print one more sheet – or as many as you need – until all the results are correct.
