What is telling time?
Telling time is reading an analog clock, the short hand shows the hour, the long hand the minutes.
How to teach it
Teach the hour hand first, then half past and quarter past/to, then count by fives for five-minute times, and finally to the minute. Link analog to digital.
In an Australian classroom
Australian primary classrooms read analogue and digital clocks side by side, and 24-hour time turns up early because it is what train timetables and school notices use.
Worked example
Common mistake
Reading the minute hand as the hour, and muddling 'quarter to' with 'quarter past'.
