Setting a clock to the minute

Grade 3 · Time and calendars

Drag the minute hand and the hour hand to show a time. The minute hand snaps to whole minutes, and the hour hand creeps on with the minutes as on a real clock.

Times are given in digits (4:37) or in words ('quarter past 9', '23 minutes to 5'). The 'to' times mean counting on to the next hour before setting it.

Numbers&Me is free. Sign up to practise more, or set it as homework in under a minute, and it marks itself.
