Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.

What children learn in Level 58

Welcome to Clock and Scale Canyon! The little marks around a clock are minutes. There are 5 minutes between each pair of numbers.
To read 4:37, count by 5s along the numbers to the 7: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35. Then count the little marks by 1s: 36, 37.
The hour hand is past the 4, but not yet at the 5, so the hour is 4. The time is 4:37.
Your turn! Show 8:23. Use the 5 minutes buttons to reach 20, then the 1 minute buttons for 3 more.
