2. Model it

   Work through one time at a time with the class:

   • Draw the hands on the clock. Talk about where the long hand points for quarter past, half past and quarter to.
   • Write the time in words in the box, for example "Quarter past 2".
   • Write the same time in digital form on the line, for example "2:15".
   • Join the three with a line so students see they are the same time shown three ways.

3. Students have a go

   Give each student a copy of the template. Call out a time, or show one on a clock, and have them fill in all three parts of a row before checking together.
