describe the relationship between the hours and minutes on analog and digital clocks, and read the time to the nearest minute

How Bloomi helps with this

This is a NAPLAN-year topic. Bloomi teaches it with a short explainer, guided practice, and NAPLAN-style questions — every one traceable to this exact code.

What this looks like in the classroom

• representing and reading the time on an analog clock using the markings and the positions of the hands, to the nearest minute mark or five-minute interval
• reading and connecting analog and digital time, interpreting times, recognising and using the language of time; for example, \(12\):\(15\) as a quarter past \(12\), or \(15\) minutes past \(12, 12\):\(45\) as a quarter to one or \(15\) minutes before one o’clock and \(10\):\(05\) as \(5\) minutes past \(10\)
• reading analog clocks throughout the day, and noticing and connecting the position of the hour hand and the distance the minute hand has travelled during the current hour
