Learning Target: I can tell time on an analog clock as the number of minutes after the hour and before the hour.

Time to the Minute

Each number on an analog clock represents a 5-minute step. The marks between the numbers allow you to tell time up to the minute.

Different Ways to Tell Time

1. Here's how to tell the number of minutes after an hour.

• Write: 1:42

• Read: 42 minutes after 1

 2. Here's how to tell the number of minutes before an hour.

• Write: 1:42
• Read: 18 minutes before 2

You can read the time 1:42 as:

• one forty-two
• 42 minutes after 1
• 18 minutes before 2

Other Examples:

38 minutes after 3	19 minutes after 5
22 minutes before 4	41 minutes before 6
