Understanding the Clock
Observe the face of the clock.
The face of the clock is marked with numerals ( 1 to 12).
The clock has two hands. One hand is longer and another is shorter.
The longer hand is the minute hand. It shows time in minutes.
The shorter hand is the hour hand. It shows time in hours.
When the minute hand is at 12, the hour hand tells the hour of the day.
Example: 5’O clock
The short hand of the clock is at 5.
The long hand of the clock is at 12.
So the time is 5’O clock.
We write it as 5:00.
Example: After 1 hour - 6’O clock
The short hand of the clock is at 6.
The long hand of the clock is at 12.
So the time is 6’O clock.
We write it as 6:00.
