Telling Time: Hour and Half Hour — Answer Key
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. Breakfast is at 7 o'clock. In digital time that is 7:00.
Seven o'clock is written in digital form as 7:00.
2. School starts at 8:30. That is the same as half past 8.
8:30 means 30 minutes after 8, which is half past 8.
3. Lunch is at 12:00. One hour later it is 1:00.
12:00 + 1 hour = 1:00.
4. Recess starts at 10:30. That means the minute hand points to 6.
At any half-past time such as 10:30, the minute hand points to the 6 on the clock face.
5. Soccer practice starts at 3:00 and lasts 1 hour. It ends at 4:00.
3:00 + 1 hour = 4:00.
6. Bedtime is at half past 8. In digital time that is 8:30.
Half past 8 means 30 minutes after 8, which is written as 8:30.
7. Art class starts at 1:30. The hour hand is between 1 and 2.
At 1:30, the hour hand has moved halfway between the 1 and the 2.
8. Dinner is at 6 o'clock. Thirty minutes later it is 6:30.
6:00 + 30 minutes = 6:30.
9. The school bus comes at 7:30. That is half past 7.
7:30 is 30 minutes after 7, which we say as half past 7.
Part B: Matching
Match each activity to the correct time.
1.
wake up at seven o'clock
→ 7:00
8:30
lunch at half past twelve
→ 12:30
9:00
school starts at eight thirty
→ 8:30
12:30
bedtime at nine o'clock
→ 9:00
7:00
Wake up at seven o'clock is 7:00. Lunch at half past twelve is 12:30 (30 minutes after 12). School starts at eight thirty is 8:30. Bedtime at nine o'clock is 9:00.
