Clocks

In our world we have digital clocks (with digits like 0,1,2,3):

And analog clocks (with hands):

Digital Clocks

Digital Clocks show us the time using numbers, like this:

Hours  :  Minutes

Examples:

5 Hours and 8 Minutes		9 Hours and 36 Minutes

Clocks with Hands

Clocks can also use hands to show us the Hours and Minutes. We call them "analog" clocks.

The Little Hand shows the Hours:

2 Hours

5 Hours

The Big Hand shows the Minutes:

30 Minutes

15 Minutes

Using both the Big Hand and Little Hand lets us know exactly what time it is:

2:30 or
Half-Past Two

5:15 or
Quarter-Past Five
