Understanding the Clock

A clock is like a circle divided into parts. We use the big hand and small hand to tell the story of time!


The Four Slices of an Hour

Think of the clock as a pizza. We use special names for where the Minute Hand (big hand) lands.

🕛 :00 (O'Clock): Big hand is at the 12.

🕒 :15 (Quarter Past): Big hand is at the 3.

🕕 :30 (Half Past): Big hand is at the 6.

🕘 :45 (Quarter To): Big hand is at the 9.
