    A new session starts every hour. What time will the clock show when these sessions
                   start? Draw hands on the clocks and write the time in two different ways. One has
                   been done for you.

                    1.                  2.                  3.                 4.                  5.

                       7 o’ clock

                          7:00

                We read the time on a watch or a clock. Look at the face or dial of the clock shown
                below. The hour hand is short and moves slowly. It shows hours. The minute hand is
                long and moves fast. It shows minutes. The third hand, which moves the fastest, is
                the second hand and it shows the seconds. The dial of the clock is divided into 12 big

                divisions, marked by the numbers 1 to 12. The gap between every pair of consecutive
                numbers is divided into 5 equal small divisions. There are 60 small divisions on the
                whole dial. Each small division represents one minute.

                                                                                           Keep in Mind

                                                                                          60 minutes =1 hour
                                                                                          30 minutes = half an hour

                Look at the clock shown alongside.

                The hour hand is beyond 2. The minute
                hand is on 6.

                We say that the time is 2:30 or half past 2.
