What children learn in Level 58
- In half an hour, the minute hand goes halfway around the clock, from 12 down to 6.
- When the minute hand points to 6, it's half past. This is half past 4, or 4:30.
- Look closely at the hour hand: it's halfway between 4 and 5. It hasn't reached 5 yet, so it's still the 4 o'clock hour!
- Here's 11:30. The hour hand is between 11 and 12, and the minute hand points to 6.
- Minute hand on 6? It's half past. Read the hour the short hand just passed.
