What children learn in Level 57
- A clock has two hands. The short hand is the hour hand. The long hand is the minute hand.
- When the long minute hand points straight up to 12, it's an o'clock time. Read the short hand: it points to 3, so it's 3 o'clock.
- A digital clock shows the same time with numbers: 3:00. The hour, then two zeros.
- At 9 o'clock, the hour hand points to 9, and the minute hand points to 12.
- Long hand on 12? It's o'clock. The short hand tells which hour.
Georgia's K-12 Mathematics Standards:
