Telling time

Math

• The child has learned how to read and understand analog clocks.
• They can identify the hour and minute hand on a clock and tell time accurately.
• They have learned the concept of AM and PM and can differentiate between them.
• The child can also solve simple time-related word problems, such as calculating how much time has passed between two given times.

For continued development, encourage the child to practice telling time in real-life scenarios. For example, they can be asked to read the time on different clocks around the house or on public transportation. Additionally, they can create their own clocks using paper plates and practice setting the time on them.
