How Pip teaches the time
Pip uses a simple teach then practise method, so a child can begin without help. No rushing, just steady steps up a clear difficulty ladder.
Pip teaches the idea and shows a worked example.
You work through one together as a guided step.
The child practises on their own with confidence.
Telling the time worksheets, skill by skill
The telling the time worksheets climb through 9 skill strands, the skills children need to read a clock:
- O'clock and half past, the start of telling the time to the hour
- Quarter past and quarter to
- Telling the time to 5 minutes
- Telling the time to the minute
- am and pm, noon and midnight
- The 24-hour clock
- Roman numerals on clock faces
- Elapsed time and duration, with a friendly number-line count-on method
- Units of time, the calendar and sensible-units estimation
Children practise both reading clocks and drawing the hands, across analogue and digital clocks and time in words, plus matching clocks to digital times. Every page is purposeful telling the time practice.
Telling the time games, activities and word problems
Skill drills are mixed with fun so children stay keen. A telling the time game like the clock maze, cut-out time dominoes, "Oops Pip" spot-the-mistake puzzles, write-the-time and make-the-clock-match tasks, and real-life word problems all keep practice playful. You also get units of time conversions (seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks), the calendar (days, months, dates and reading a month grid) and sensible-units estimation.
Built for KS1 and KS2 Maths
This is a proper UK Maths workbook: it uses quarter past and quarter to, the 24-hour clock and Roman numerals throughout. It suits KS1 and KS2, roughly Year 1 to Year 4. A diagnostic check near the start and a final Time Champion test at the end make progress provable, while badges to colour, a progress map and a certificate keep children motivated.
Who it is for
Children aged 6 to 9 in Years 1 to 4 who are learning to tell the time, and any KS1 or KS2 child who needs steady, confidence-building clock practice. A few pages a day is all it takes. When your child is ready for the 11+, keep maths sharp with the free Pip app at pip11plus.com.
Telling the time worksheets: your questions answered
What age is this telling the time workbook for?+
It is designed for ages 6 to 9. The difficulty ladder starts at o'clock and builds to the minute, so younger children begin gently and older ones are stretched, useful telling the time practice across a wide age range.
Does it cover analogue and digital clocks and the 24-hour clock?+
Yes. Children read and draw analogue and digital clocks, write the time in words, and match clocks to digital times, then progress to am and pm, noon and midnight, and the 24-hour clock.
Does it come with answers?+
Yes, with answers throughout. The full answer key shows little clock faces for draw-the-hands questions and worked number lines for elapsed-time answers, so checking is quick for any grown-up.
Does it teach telling the time to 5 minutes?+
Yes. A dedicated strand covers telling the time to 5 minutes, sitting between quarter past and quarter to and the harder to-the-minute work, so children build up in steps.
