What this lesson shows
Fixes a mistake
At 3:19 the hour hand is just past 3, not halfway to 4.
The worked example
The lesson works this one step by step: 3:19 p.m. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.
The steps
- Halfway is half past
- The hands move together
- Just past the hour
Helping at home
The short hand moves from one hour to the next while the long hand goes once around. Less than 30 minutes past: less than halfway. More than 30: past halfway, near the next hour.
If your kid gets stuck
How far around is the long hand?
Watch it with Lux
