These Year 3 telling the time worksheets are designed to help pupils confidently read, write, and convert time using analogue clocks, time in words, and 12-hour and 24-hour digital formats.
The set builds progression carefully, starting with reading times in numbers, then moving to writing time in words using past, to, quarter, and half, before challenging pupils to convert between 12-hour and 24-hour time. Clear clock faces, consistent layouts, and scaffolded examples make this ideal for classwork, homework, revision, or intervention.
The worksheets include non-5-minute intervals to ensure pupils develop a secure understanding of reading time to the nearest minute, making this a strong preparation resource for later problem-solving and assessments.
