About This Worksheet

This Year 2 measurement worksheet focuses on the essential skill of telling time, a crucial life skill and a key component of the UK primary curriculum. Specifically, it targets the ability to tell and write the time to five minutes, including quarter past and quarter to the hour. This worksheet provides valuable practice in reading analogue clocks, a skill that builds upon their understanding of number and spatial reasoning. Through engaging exercises, children will learn to identify the hour and minute hands, count in fives, and associate these with specific times of day. This practice helps solidify their understanding of the relationship between minutes and hours, laying the foundation for more complex time-related concepts in later years. The worksheet also encourages children to draw hands on a clock face, reinforcing their understanding of the visual representation of time. By mastering these fundamental time-telling skills, Year 2 students will gain confidence in their mathematical abilities and develop a greater awareness of the passage of time in their daily lives. This worksheet offers a structured and supportive environment for Year 2 students to practice and consolidate their understanding of time, contributing to their overall mathematical development and preparing them for future challenges in measurement and beyond. Consistent practice with worksheets like this builds fluency and reinforces learning, making it an invaluable tool for teachers and parents alike. This Year 2 time worksheet offers essential practice for mastering measurement skills.

💡 How to Use This Worksheet

This worksheet is designed to be used after an introductory lesson on telling time to five-minute intervals. It can be used as independent practice, a small group activity, or as a quick assessment to gauge understanding. For students who are struggling, provide them with a physical clock to manipulate the hands and visualise the time. Encourage them to count in fives around the clock face. For students who are confident, challenge them to think about what they might be doing at each of the times shown on the worksheet. Watch out for common mistakes such as confusing the hour and minute hands, or miscounting the minutes past or to the hour. As an extension activity, ask students to create their own time-related problems for their classmates to solve.
