Learn Moreabout PBS online sponsorship[bright music] - Hi everyone.
Welcome to our classroom.
I'm Miss Zoe and today I have with me... - Malena.
- Malena.
And today we're gonna talk about time.
And it's so interesting because there's different ways that we can tell time and back in the day, you'll see we used to use these analog clocks.
And you'll see these in banks, in stores, maybe in your classrooms, right?
But a lot of times at home, we use digital clocks.
In digital clocks, you'll have the actual numbers in the time.
Here if you look at the analog clock, we have red numbers and we have blue numbers.
What are the red numbers?
- The red numbers stand for the hours.
- The red numbers stand for the hours.
The blue numbers.
What do the blue numbers represent?
- The minutes.
- The minutes.
So we also have a red hand and a blue hand.
And the red hand is for hours and the blue hand is for minutes.
So what we're gonna do is we are going to play a game called Telling time.
And Malena's going to show us the time on the- - Analog clock.
- The analog clock and I will be writing the time on the digital.
There are 60 minutes in one hour.
And so we can count by fives.
- Or we could count by ones.
And the one are the smaller bumps.
It's like a gadget, but it goes around the clock.
- Right.
So these little notches represent one minute.
So you'd have one, two, three, four, five.
And then another one, two, three, four, five, which makes 10 minutes.
So every five minutes you'll see one of these numbers.
And here, each individual notch is one minute.
So if I were to say 12:34, show me on that clock.
So now let's take a look.
We have the hour hand at 12, and we passed the 30, one, two, three, four.
So 12:34.
So today we are going to practice first by hours and then by half hours.
So if I were to say, can you show me one o'clock, can you show me on the analog clock, please?
- Yes.
[bright music] That is what one o'clock, because we know that the hour hand is pointing to the one and the blue hand is pointing to 60 and 60 stands for one hour and 12 o'clock.
And 12 o'clock also stand for 00.
And zero zero stands for one o'clock.
- Okay, so we have the hour hand at one because it's one o'clock, the hour is one.
And when we have the blue minute hand at the 60, at 12, it means it's zero zero.
So it's one o'clock.
One o'clock.
What about, what would 12 o'clock look like?
- 12 o'clock is when you have the hour hand pointing at the 12 and the minute hand pointing at 60.
- All right, so that's 12.
All right, hmm.
Let's see if we can do it by the half hour.
Half hours, meaning that the minute hand will be at the 30.
So a half hour is half the way between the new hour.
So if this is 12, we have 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30.
That means it's half past 12, 12:30.
Alright, let's try 3:30 or half past three o'clock, which is 3:30.
[bright music] All right, let's take a look.
So we have the hour hand on the three and the minute hand on the 30 at the bottom, which also is the sixth.
But you can see here the blue 30.
How about you show me a time with the half hour in it and I'll write it and see if I can figure out what it is.
- Okay.
- Let's see what she's gonna come up with.
No, 30.
All right, let's see what she made.
All right, so we have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, 8:30.
8:30.
Am I right?
- Yes.
- Great.
- Do you wanna do it again?
- Yes.
- All right, let's see if she can get me.
Ooh, look at that.
So we have the red hand on 12, so it must mean it's 12 o'clock and 30, five, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30.
So it's 12:30.
Am I right?
- Yes.
- Oh, pretty good.
All right, see if you can do another one.
And you can pick whether you wanna do on the hour or half past the hour.
And we'll see if I can guess it or we can see if I can tell it 'cause we're telling time.
All right, let's see.
The hour hand is on the six.
Oh, they're both on the six.
So it's six, five, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30.
I'm gonna write 6:30.
All right, last one.
Ready?
Go ahead.
She's either gonna give us a time on the hour or something 30.
Let's see what she gives us.
Ooh, can you tell me what time that is?
Hmm.
All right.
The hour is on 10.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10.
It's 10 o'clock.
Our minute hand is on the six, which we know is 30.
So we know it's 10:30.
10:30.
Am I right?
- Yes.
- Great.
So remember everyone, our short hand, 'cause some clocks don't have red and blue, but our short hand will tell you the hours.
Our long hand on a clock will tell you the minutes.
See if you can go find an analog clock and tell your friends that you learned that the short hand is the hour and the long hand are the minutes.
And remember, every number here is an hour and the minutes are in between.
All right, so thanks for playing Telling Time and our time is up.
We'll see you later.
- Bye.
- Thanks.
Bye.
