Clocks
In our world we have digital clocks (they have digits like 0,1,2,3) ...
... and analog clocks (they have hands) ...
Digital Clocks
Digital Clocks show us the time using numbers. The number on the left of the : is Hours, and the number on the right is Minutes:
| | | |
| 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:
| | | |
| Hours | 5 Hours |
The Big Hand shows the Minutes:
| | | |
| 30 Minutes or Half-Past | 15 Minutes or Quarter-Past |
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 |
