Look at the clocks on the board. Is the long hand straight up or straight down?
Four clocks on the board. For each one, look first at the long hand: straight up or straight down. Then look at where the short hand sits.
We set the hands on the board together. One pupil sets each time while the class watches. Before the hands are finished, say whether the long hand should point up or down.
In your maths copy, write one o'clock time and one half-past time from your day.
We set these times on the board together: 4 o'clock, half past 4, half past 7, then 8 o'clock. Before each one, say long hand up or long hand down.
