Telling Time

Under Review

Create a fun and simple worksheet to help students learn how to tell time. They can either write the digital time (like 3:10) by looking at a clock with hands, or draw the clock hands based on a given digital time.

You can customize the worksheet by choosing different clock styles, adding a seconds hand, or using different digital time formats. The options for this exercise set lets you make the activity easier or more challenging depending on your students' needs.
