WEBVTT 00:00:01.325 --> 00:00:02.772 - [Voiceover] Let's look at this clock and see 00:00:02.772 --> 00:00:06.388 if we can tell what time is shown on it. 00:00:06.388 --> 00:00:07.812 First thing, when we look at a clock, 00:00:07.812 --> 00:00:10.452 we have two hands and that's because time 00:00:10.452 --> 00:00:12.268 is told in two parts. 00:00:12.268 --> 00:00:14.101 Time is told in hours, 00:00:16.404 --> 00:00:17.491 that's part. 00:00:17.491 --> 00:00:19.881 And on a clock the hours are represented 00:00:19.881 --> 00:00:21.528 by the short hand, 00:00:21.528 --> 00:00:24.445 and then the other part is minutes. 00:00:26.596 --> 00:00:28.443 And on an analog clock like this one, 00:00:28.443 --> 00:00:31.322 minutes are represented by the long hand. 00:00:31.322 --> 00:00:32.842 So let's look first at hours. 00:00:32.842 --> 00:00:34.339 We have the short hand, 00:00:34.339 --> 00:00:37.555 and it's between the six and the seven. 00:00:37.555 --> 00:00:40.381 What that means is it's after 6 o'clock, 00:00:40.381 --> 00:00:42.566 but not quite seven, 00:00:42.566 --> 00:00:44.325 'cause the hour hand started at the top 00:00:44.325 --> 00:00:46.015 and worked its way around and it's gone 00:00:46.015 --> 00:00:47.230 past 6 o'clock, 00:00:47.230 --> 00:00:49.158 but it's not seven. 00:00:49.158 --> 00:00:51.661 So it's six something. 00:00:51.661 --> 00:00:52.935 Six something. 00:00:52.935 --> 00:00:55.165 It might be 6:15, might be 6:45. 00:00:55.165 --> 00:00:57.029 We'll figure out the minutes next, 00:00:57.029 --> 00:00:58.753 but we know it's after 6 o'clock 00:00:58.753 --> 00:01:00.017 but not a seven. 00:01:00.017 --> 00:01:03.079 So we'll put a six in our hours place. 00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:05.989 Then for minutes we have this longer hand 00:01:05.989 --> 00:01:09.711 which is pointing right here at this mark. 00:01:09.711 --> 00:01:12.222 And minutes, again, start at the top 00:01:12.222 --> 00:01:13.832 and work their way around. 00:01:13.832 --> 00:01:17.878 But now each of these little spaces is one minute. 00:01:17.878 --> 00:01:21.453 So we can go one, two, three, four, five, 00:01:21.453 --> 00:01:23.327 and when we get to this first square, 00:01:23.327 --> 00:01:24.758 this first where this one is, 00:01:24.758 --> 00:01:26.790 we've gone five minutes. 00:01:26.790 --> 00:01:28.159 Let's keep going like that. 00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:30.780 Six, seven, eight, nine, 00:01:30.780 --> 00:01:32.503 10 at this next one, 00:01:32.503 --> 00:01:34.782 and maybe you see a pattern here. 00:01:34.782 --> 00:01:36.744 Every time we get to one of these numbers 00:01:36.744 --> 00:01:38.324 or the squares, the bigger marks, 00:01:38.324 --> 00:01:40.635 we've gone five more minutes. 00:01:40.635 --> 00:01:45.108 So if we keep going this will be 15 minutes past the hour. 00:01:45.108 --> 00:01:46.685 Keep going. 00:01:46.685 --> 00:01:47.518 20. 00:01:48.398 --> 00:01:49.478 Keep going. 00:01:49.478 --> 00:01:50.311 25. 00:01:51.255 --> 00:01:52.796 Now we can't go all the way to the six 00:01:52.796 --> 00:01:54.484 because our minute hand stopped here. 00:01:54.484 --> 00:01:56.413 It hasn't reached this part. 00:01:56.413 --> 00:01:58.840 So after 25, we'll go back to counting by one, 00:01:58.840 --> 00:01:59.691 is the one minute. 00:01:59.691 --> 00:02:01.274 We have 25, 26, 27. 00:02:03.933 --> 00:02:07.199 The minute hand has gone past 27 of these marks, 00:02:07.199 --> 00:02:10.866 meaning that it is 27 minutes past the hour. 00:02:12.982 --> 00:02:14.589 Let's try another one. 00:02:14.589 --> 00:02:18.147 The hour hand is between the four and the five, 00:02:18.147 --> 00:02:20.201 which means it's after 4 o'clock. 00:02:20.201 --> 00:02:22.290 It's some amount of minutes after four, 00:02:22.290 --> 00:02:24.834 but it is not yet five. 00:02:24.834 --> 00:02:26.705 And now let's look at our minute hand. 00:02:26.705 --> 00:02:29.555 The longer hand represents minutes. 00:02:29.555 --> 00:02:31.634 So the minute hand started at the top 00:02:31.634 --> 00:02:33.884 and it's gone five, 10, 15, 00:02:35.775 --> 00:02:37.186 not quite to 20, 00:02:37.186 --> 00:02:40.395 so let's go back to 15 and then count by ones. 00:02:40.395 --> 00:02:41.645 16, 17, 18, 19. 00:02:44.436 --> 00:02:47.019 Our minute hand lines up to 19. 00:02:47.996 --> 00:02:51.329 So it is 19 minutes after four, or 4:19. 00:02:54.907 --> 00:02:56.916 On this one I encourage you to pause the video 00:02:56.916 --> 00:03:00.593 and see if you can figure out the time. 00:03:00.593 --> 00:03:03.202 Okay, let's try it together now. 00:03:03.202 --> 00:03:07.034 So the hour hand, between the seven and the eight. 00:03:07.034 --> 00:03:10.145 So it's after seven, but not quite eight, 00:03:10.145 --> 00:03:12.699 and by looking at the hour hand we can see 00:03:12.699 --> 00:03:14.346 it's quite a bit after seven 'cause 00:03:14.346 --> 00:03:16.122 it's almost eight. 00:03:16.122 --> 00:03:17.436 And looking at the minute hand, 00:03:17.436 --> 00:03:18.987 confirms that the minute hand's gone 00:03:18.987 --> 00:03:20.195 all the way to here. 00:03:20.195 --> 00:03:22.586 It's almost back to the top. 00:03:22.586 --> 00:03:25.706 And that minute hand, starting at the top, 00:03:25.706 --> 00:03:27.873 has gone five, 10, 15, 20, 00:03:29.701 --> 00:03:30.951 25, 30, 35, 40, 00:03:33.110 --> 00:03:35.943 45, and one more, 46 minutes past. 00:03:38.855 --> 00:03:40.688 46 minutes past seven. 00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:43.016 The time is 7:46.
