1. Past and to:
The traditional English language method expresses time as 'minutes past' and 'minutes to' the hour. This
method is used in many countries alongside the 12 & 24 hour format for timetables
Teaching a child to tell the time in ‘minutes past and to the hour’ requires a 3-Step Time
Teaching System:
Step 1:
Read the number at the end of the long hand
'...8'
Step 2:
Say which side the long hand is pointing to:
'minutes to' pink side, 'minutes past' green side
'....minutes to'
Step 3:
Read the number at the end of the short hand
'...2'
Put it all together:
'...8 minutes to 2'
It really is that easy!
Now practise until the 3 steps become second nature.
