Once children know the number of minutes there are in an hour, and can tell the time accurately to at least quarter past/to, they should be able to predict what time it will be in half an hour or quarter of an hour. For example, if they are shown a clock showing 4 o'clock and asked what time it will be in, for example, 30 minutes they should be able to imagine where the minute hand will be and know what the new time will be when that number of minutes has passed.
Can you tell what time it will be in an hour, half an hour or quarter of an hour?

In 15 minutes, the minute hand will be pointing to the 3 to show quarter past
|
30 minutes from now, the minute hand will be pointing straight down

The minute hand will have moved 15 minutes to point at the 3
|
In half an hour, the minute hand will be back at the top and the hour will have changed from 5 to 6

The minute hand takes 30 minutes from pointing to the 12 until it points to the 6
|
In 3 hours, the hour hand will have moved on to point to the number 3

If we moved the minute hand backwards 15 minutes, it would be pointing straight up to show 2 o'clock
|
The minute hand will be back at the top but the hour hand will move on to the 5

The minute hand will be pointing to the 9 in 45 minutes, showing us it's quarter to 7
