What is telling time?
Telling time is the ability to read a clock. That means telling time with words, clock hands, or digital clock.
That means learning that 1 o’clock is also 1:00 and then being able to tell 1:00 on the hands on a clock.
This printable works on matching the three different types of clocks together. It is great math printable for kindergarten and can be used for review on hourly time in first grade.
You are going to find cones with the telling time words on them.
You are going to find scoops that match the telling time cones with digital clocks and analog clocks. These work the best printing on cardstock. And if you plan on using them a lot then laminate the cards.
You will also find a telling time help mat that you can use with the ice cream cone telling time matching cards. I recommend printing on cardstock and lamenting the help mat so that it can be used over and over.
You will also find a recording sheet for all 12 of the clocks. This is so you can record your telling time if you use it as a center.
