Fascinating Fact:

Clocks help us plan our day by showing when to wake up, go to school, eat lunch, and go to bed.

In KS2 Maths, pupils learn how to tell the time accurately using both analogue and digital clocks. They practise reading the time to the nearest minute, calculating durations, and comparing times of day. These skills are essential for keeping to timetables, understanding schedules, and managing daily routines effectively.

Key Terms

Hour: A unit of time equal to 60 minutes.
Minute: A smaller unit of time — 60 of these make one hour.
Analogue Clock: A clock with moving hands that point to numbers showing hours and minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

How do you read time to the nearest minute?

Look at the minute hand to see how many small marks it has moved past the hour number. Each mark represents one minute.

What is the difference between AM and PM?

AM means before midday, while PM means after midday. Together, they divide the day into two 12-hour parts.

Why is learning to tell the time important?

It helps children organise their day, follow timetables, and solve everyday problems like knowing when to leave for school or how long tasks take.
