1 to 12.
Elmer the Elephant used an analog clock on his journey. Do you remember what an analog clock looks like?
Francisco the Fish has a different kind of clock on his watch. Instead of a circle with hour and minute marks, Francisco’s watch shows numbers, or digits, on a screen. Do you remember what Francisco’s digital watch looks like?
A digital clock uses one or two digits to display the hours and two digits to display the minutes.
Elmer knows how to count by hours on an analog clock, but he wants to learn how to tell time on Francisco’s watch too. You can learn along with him!
Elmer wants to have a snack with Gino the Giraffe at 3 o’clock. Here is 3 o’clock on Elmer’s analog watch.
On a digital clock, the hour comes first and the minutes come after the two dots that look like this :
Elmer wants to play with Zina the Zebra. He decides to meet Zina at 4 o’clock. What would Elmer see on an analog clock at that time? What would he see on a digital clock?
If you hear what time it is, can you imagine how the time would look on a clock? Read each time below, and think about how a clock would show that time. Then click the time to see if you are right.
