Telling Time to the Hour — Interactive Lesson (Ages 5–6)

Still pointing at the classroom clock every time you want to check who can read it? This 21-slide interactive lesson gives Year 1 pupils focused, self-marking practice reading the time to the hour.

Mastering Telling Time to the Hour in Year 1 Maths

Pupils practise reading an analogue clock face and telling the time to the hour, building the time-telling fluency within the Year 1 National Curriculum area of measurement. A real, practical life skill, this topic gives pupils an immediate reason to apply what they’re learning outside the maths lesson itself.
