 Telling the Time
When we are telling the time, it is really important to be able to
count in 5s.

Let’s count in 5s from 0 to 60?

0 5 10 15 20 25 30

35 40 45 50 55 60
Remember this picture:
 Telling the Time

How many Why is 15 minutes

Why is 30 minutes

the minute hand.
We are going to look now at the minutes past the hour.
