Mathematics: Time

In maths we are learning about clocks digital and analogue and we had a maths test on Wednesday.

Clocks are important so you will be in time for school, appointments and in time for bed.

These are some analogue time tips:
When the big hand is on the three it is quarter past.
When the big hand is on the six it is half past.
When the big hand is on the nine it is quarter two.
