Year 3 Telling the Time Worksheets – Analogue, 12-Hour and 24-Hour Clocks

🕒 Build Confident Clock-Reading Skills

Help learners develop confidence in reading analogue clocks, writing times in numbers and words, and connecting 12-hour and 24-hour time.

This printable Year 3 telling the time resource provides a clear progression from recognising times on analogue clock faces to working with time vocabulary and p.m. conversions. It is suitable for maths and math lessons, independent practice, revision, homework and assessment preparation.

📄 What Is Included

• 3 printable telling the time worksheets

• 3 corresponding answer sheets

• 16 clock-reading questions on each worksheet

• 48 questions altogether, including one completed example on each worksheet

• Analogue clock faces with numbered hours and minute markings

• Space for pupils to record each answer

✏️ Worksheet Activities

Worksheet 1: Writing Time in Numbers

Learners read analogue clocks and record the times numerically. The questions include whole hours, five-minute intervals and times shown to individual minutes.

Worksheet 2: Writing Time in Words

Learners write analogue times using familiar time vocabulary, including:

• Past and to

• Half past

• Quarter past

• Quarter to

• Five-, ten-, twenty- and twenty-five-minute intervals

• Times close to the next hour

Worksheet 3: 12-Hour and 24-Hour Time

Learners read p.m. times on analogue clocks and record each time using both 12-hour notation and 24-hour notation.

🎯 Skills Covered

• Identifying the hour and minute hands

• Reading analogue clock faces

• Reading time to five-minute intervals

• Reading time to the nearest minute

• Writing times numerically

• Expressing time in words

• Using “past” and “to” vocabulary

• Recognising quarter-hour and half-hour times

• Using p.m. notation

• Converting p.m. times from 12-hour to 24-hour notation

• Building accuracy and fluency with time

📈 Learning Progression and Difficulty

The three worksheets provide a useful progression:

1. Read and record times in numbers.

2. Express times using written time vocabulary.

3. Connect analogue clocks with 12-hour and 24-hour notation.

The resource begins with accessible clock-reading questions before including less familiar times shown to individual minutes. This makes it suitable for guided teaching, differentiated practice and revision.
