What children learn in Level 59
- Even without the minute hand, the hour hand tells you about what time it is. It moves slowly from one number to the next in an hour.
- Halfway between the 3 and the 4 means half an hour past 3. It's about 3:30.
- A quarter of the way from the 3 to the 4 is about 3:15. Three quarters of the way is about 3:45.
- A quarter hour is 15 minutes. 3:13 is closer to 3:15 than to 3:00, so it's about 3:15.
Georgia's K-12 Mathematics Standards:
- 3.MDR.5.2 — Tell and write time to the nearest minute and estimate time to the nearest fifteen minutes (quarter hour) from the analysis of an analog clock.
