Match Up Times, O’clock & Half Past

EASYTEACHING.NET

Overview:

An activity designed to help students match o’clock and half past times in analogue, digital, and word forms. Designed for early and middle years students.

Learning Objectives:

  • Recognise and match o’clock and half past times in analogue, digital, and word forms.
  • Develop an understanding of o’clock and half past times and how they are represented in different formats.
  • Strengthen time-telling skills through visual and written representation.

How the Activity Works:

Students draw lines to connect the matching o’clock and half past times. Each set includes an analogue clock, a digital time (e.g., 4:00 for four o’clock and 4:30 for half past four), and the corresponding word form (e.g., "four o’clock" or "half past four"). This activity helps students practise recognising o’clock and half past times, reinforcing their ability to understand and represent time in various formats.
