From the lesson “Telling Time to the Minute”

A clock showing 2:10.

What time does the clock show?

  • 2:15
  • 3:10
  • 2:10
  • 10:02
Show the answer

2:10. The short hand is past the 2. The long hand points to the 2, which is 10 minutes. So it is two ten.

Hint kids see after a wrong try: “The short hand is just past the 2. Count by fives for the long hand.”
