Questions parents ask

When do children learn to tell time?

Common Core expects the hour and half hour in first grade, 5 minutes in second grade and the nearest minute in third grade.

Why draw the hands?

Drawing the hands checks that a child knows where the hour hand sits, which is the most common mistake.

Is there an answer key?

Yes, on page 2, with every clock and its time.
