You can learn how to tell time by 5s! Each time the minute hand reaches a number, 5 minutes have passed. Look at the clock. Touch each number on the clock as you count by 5s.
Great job! Now, let’s look at some clocks and tell time by 5s! Click through the slides below to learn how.
To tell the time by 5, we count the numbers by 5 until we reach the number that the minute hand is on. Let’s try it! Look at the clock below.
The hour hand is pointing to the 9. The minute hand is pointing to the 3. We can count by 5s to see what time it is. We can count like this:
The hour is 9 and the minutes are 15. The time is 9:15!
Let’s look at another clock!
Let’s keep counting by 5s. Remember to use the clock at the top of the page to help you count by 5s!
We still look at the hour hand first. The hour hand is on the 12. Next, we count the minutes. We need to count by 5s to the 2 on the clock. We can count like this:
The hour is 12 and the minutes are 10. The time is 12:10!
You’re doing great!
Let’s look at one more clock and count by 5s to tell the time.
Look at the hour hand first. The hour is 5. Now, let’s count by 5s to the 5 on the clock.
When we count by 5s to the 5 on the clock, the minutes are 25! The hour is 5, so the time is 5:25!
Wow! You did a great job learning how to tell time by 5s.
What time does the clock show?
