What this lesson shows
Fixes a mistake
At 4:30 the short hand sits between 4 and 5. The long hand is the minutes.
The worked example
The lesson works this one step by step: 4:30. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.
The steps
- Find the short hand
- The number it has passed
- That is the hour
Helping at home
The hour is the number the short hand has passed, not the one it is close to. At half past, it sits between two numbers.
If your kid gets stuck
Which number has it passed?
Watch it with Lux
With Lux, this lesson is a narrated video and a printed page your kid works on. Then Lux helps with the same math on their own worksheet, one question at a time.
