00:01Hey kids, I have this problem today and I was hoping you could help me with it.
00:05Will you help me with my problem?
00:09Thank you so much!
00:10Okay, today I was asked to go to my basketball game at half past three o'clock.
00:15I am not sure what that means and that is why I need your help.
00:19Let's learn about telling time so I can make it to my basketball game.
00:25Here is an analog clock.
00:27This clock is a training clock and only has the hour hand on it.
00:31Whenever the hour hand points to one of the numbers we can read the hour.
00:36Right now the time is one o'clock.
00:38We say o'clock to represent the hour or the beginning of an hour.
00:43What time is it right now?
00:46It is four o'clock! Great job guys!
00:50What hour is it right now?
00:53It is ten o'clock. Great job!
00:55This clock is a great training clock and we already learned about clocks with the minute hand,
00:59so let's take a look at the big clock.
01:02On this clock we have both an hour hand and a minute hand.
01:08Right now the time on the clock is six o'clock.
01:12We say o'clock when the minute hand points straight up because it is on the hour.
01:16What time is it right now?
01:19It is seven o'clock! Great job again!
01:23On the right side I have a digital clock, which as we learned before shows time but only using numbers.
01:31Both of these clocks show seven o'clock.
01:35The digital clock shows seven for the hour and the two zeros show the minutes.
01:38Right now the hour is seven and the minutes are zero, so we say seven o'clock.
01:43This time stuff is really cool guys!
01:46Now that we know what o'clock means, it is time to learn about half hours so I can know when to go to my basketball game.
01:54Right now the time is seven o'clock, but watch this.
01:56The minute hand is moving around the clock, but you will also notice that the hour hand is moving as well.
02:06While the minute hand went all the way around the clock, the hour hand moved from the seven to the eight.
02:12That means one hour went by.
02:15For the minute hand to go all the way around the clock, it has to go around 60 minutes.
02:21So 60 minutes is how long it takes for the minute hand to go around the clock once.
02:26I am going to take the minute hand halfway around the clock.
02:29Where would the minute hand point to if it just went halfway around the clock?
02:34Let's see.
02:35Mr. Clock, would you please move your minute hand halfway around the clock?
02:41Now we can see that the minute hand has gone halfway around the clock and has stopped at the six.
02:47The small numbers on this clock are the minutes.
02:49The minute stopped at what number?
02:51The minute hand is pointing to the 30 minute mark.
02:56Halfway around the clock is 30 minutes.
02:59Great job, kids!
03:01The hour hand is in between the eight and the nine.
03:04While the minute hand went halfway around the clock, the hour hand only moved halfway between the eight and the nine.
03:09This is confusing, because I do not know the hour.
03:13Do you think the hour is eight or nine?
03:18The hour is still eight, even though it is past the eight.
03:22When the hour hand points right at a number, it starts the hour.
03:26It stays that hour until it reaches the next number.
03:28Right now the hour hand is past the eight, halfway, and we see that the minute hand is pointing to the 30.
03:36We can say that the time is half past eight o'clock.
03:40This happens to be the time that my school starts in the morning.
03:43My parents said that school starts at half past eight.
03:47And now I know what that means.
03:498.30!
03:50Wow, this time stuff is awesome!
03:53We have two clocks here, the analog clock on the left, and the digital clock on the right.
04:00The digital clock shows 8.30, and the analog clock shows 8.30 as well.
04:05The 8 shows the hour, and the 30 shows the minutes that have passed.
04:10If we were to write the time, we would write it just like the digital clock shows.
04:17Can you tell me what time it is now?
04:22The time is 12.30, or we could say it is half past 12.
04:26Great job, kids!
04:27We can see that a half hour or 30 minutes have passed since 12 o'clock.
04:32If we wanted to write this time, what would it look like?
04:38You would write it like you see it on this digital clock.
04:4112 is the hour on the left, and 30 minutes is on the right.
04:45The time is 12.30, or half past 12.
04:48Now that we have learned a lot, can you help me figure out when my basketball game starts?
04:55They told me it starts at half past 3.
04:58Is this half past 3?
05:01No, this is not half past 3.
05:06This is half past 2 o'clock.
05:08How about now?
05:09How about now?
05:11Is this half past 3?
05:13No, this is still not half past 3.
05:17What time is this showing?
05:19It is showing 3 o'clock.
05:23How many more minutes do I have to move the minute hand to get to half past 3?
05:28We need to move the minute hand 30 minutes or half way around the clock.
05:38Is the time on the clock half past 3?
05:44It is half past 3! Great job!
05:48Can you tell me now how to write this time?
05:53It would look like this.
05:55The time is 3.30.
06:00Wow!
06:01We have learned so much today and I am so glad you helped me.
06:04I better get to my basketball game so we will see you later.
06:07Take care and keep practicing.
06:09Goodbye!
