Telling the Time Worksheets | KS1 Maths | Quarter Past, Quarter To & Half Past Practice

This Telling the Time practice pack is ideal for teaching and reinforcing hour, quarter past, quarter to, and half past. Designed for KS1, lower KS2, SEN, and early learners, these worksheets provide structured, repeated practice with both analogue and digital clocks to build fluency and confidence.

Each worksheet includes a variety of time tasks: reading an analogue clock, writing the time in digital format, identifying the correct clock from a set of visuals, colouring the matching time, and drawing hands on a blank clock face. Learners also complete simple reasoning tasks such as calculating the time one hour before or after, helping to develop deeper understanding of how time moves forward and backward.

The pack contains multiple worksheets, each focusing on a specific target time (for example 11:15, 2:15, 4:30, 7:30 and more). The repetition in structure supports mastery and is especially effective for children who benefit from routine and scaffolded practice.
