Lesson details
Key learning points
- The hour hand moves between the hours.
- When the hour hand is halfway between two hours, it is half past the last hour.
Common misconception
The left hand side of the clock can cause pupils problems when reading the clock to the half hour. For example, because half past nine is between nine and ten, pupils might read it as half past ten.
Encourage pupils to focus on the word ‘past’ - which number has it gone past?
Keywords
Half past - Half of an hour has passed.
Hour hand - The small hand on a clock that points to the hour.
