Get your students confident with telling time using our Time Detective O’Clock Worksheets. These engaging worksheets are designed to support learners as they practise reading digital times and drawing the correct hands on an analog clock. By focusing exclusively on o’clock times, this resource provides a simple and structured way to build early time-telling skills and establish a strong foundation for future learning.

Each worksheet presents a digital time at the top of the box, paired with a blank analog clock underneath. Students must draw both the hour and minute hands in the correct positions, reinforcing the connection between digital and analog formats. The step-by-step approach and repeated practice help learners gain accuracy, fluency, and confidence when recognising and recording o’clock times.

These worksheets are versatile for whole-class instruction, small-group practice, or individual consolidation. The clear layout, hands-on options, and extension activities ensure all students are engaged and supported at their level, making time-telling practice fun, interactive, and effective.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Recognise o’clock times on digital clocks
• ✅ Represent o’clock times on analog clocks
• ✅ Identify the role of the hour and minute hands
• ✅ Strengthen connections between digital and analog time
• ✅ Develop confidence in telling and discussing the time

What’s Included:

• Printable worksheets featuring o’clock digital times with blank analog clocks
• Answer sheet for teacher reference or peer review
• Simple, student-friendly designs for independent completion
• Extension ideas to broaden understanding and application

Materials Needed:

• Printed worksheets for each student
• Pencils for drawing the hour and minute hands
• Colour-coded pencils (e.g. red for the minute hand, blue for the hour hand) for clarity
• Optional: mini clock manipulatives for modelling times

How to Use:

1. Distribute the worksheets to students.
2. Ask them to read the digital time shown at the top of each box.
3. Have students draw the matching hour and minute hands on the blank analog clock below.
4. Encourage learners to check their work by reading the time aloud.
5. Review answers together as a class or in small groups using the provided answer sheet.

Ideas for Classroom Use:

• 💡 Introduce as part of a maths lesson on telling time to the hour
• 💡 Use in small groups with mini clocks for hands-on modelling before recording
• 💡 Include as an independent rotation task during maths centres
• 💡 Practise oral time-telling by asking students to say each completed time aloud
• 💡 Send home as a simple practice activity to reinforce learning with families

Top Teacher Tips:

• 💛 Encourage students to colour-code their clock hands for clarity
• 💛 Model several examples on the board before beginning independent work
• 💛 Reinforce that the minute hand always points to the 12 for o’clock times

The Time Detective O’Clock Worksheets give students the practice they need to master reading and recording o’clock times, building confidence and fluency with both digital and analog clocks.
