This answer key helps Grade 2 teachers and parents check the telling time worksheet. First, it gives the answer to each of the 20 problems. Then it explains how the hour hand and the minute hand give the time.

The notes cover reading clocks on the hour and at half past, quarter past, and quarter to. Next, they cover counting by fives, writing two-digit minutes, using a.m. and p.m., and ordering times. Checking the full page takes about 15 minutes, and a clock with movable hands helps settle disagreements.

Each solution names the hour first, then counts the minutes by fives, and shows the final time in bold. Use the pictures of the clocks to check where the hands point.

2nd grade telling time worksheet answers: worksheet problems 1 to 10

1 – On the hour

The hour hand points to 4 and the minute hand points to 12. 4:00.

2 – Half past

Also, the hour hand is halfway between 7 and 8, so the hour is 7. The minute hand points to 6, and \(6 imes 5 = 30\). 7:30.

3 – Hands in words

Also, the hour hand is past the 8, so the hour is 8. The minute hand on 6 means 30 minutes. 8:30.

4 – Quarter past

Also, the hour is 2. The minute hand points to 3: 5, 10, 15. 2:15.

5 – Quarter to

Also, the hour hand is almost at 11, but it has not reached it, so the hour is 10. The minute hand points to 9: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45. 10:45.

6 – Twenty minutes

Also, the hour is 5. The minute hand points to 4: 5, 10, 15, 20. 5:20.

7 – Count the minutes

Jamal counted by ones, but each number is worth 5 minutes. Count by fives to 7: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35. \(7 \times 5 = 35\). 35 minutes.

8 – Almost the hour

The number just before 12 is 11. Count by fives to 11: \(11 \times 5 = 55\). 55 minutes.

9 – Words to digits

A quarter past means 15 minutes after the hour. 9:15.

Worksheet problem 10 and after

10 – Morning or night

Breakfast is in the morning, after midnight and before noon. 7:30 a.m.

Worksheet problems 11 and up

11 – After school

The afternoon is after noon. 3:20 p.m.

12 – Digital to hands

So, the minutes are 45, and 45 is 9 fives, so the minute hand points to 9. The hour hand is between the 6 and the 7, close to the 7. Between 6 and 7.

13 – Minutes after eleven

10 minutes is 2 fives, so the minute hand points to 2. It is 10 minutes after 11 o’clock.

14 – Which is later

Both are in the 4 o’clock hour. 50 minutes is more than 35 minutes. Jamal’s bus comes later.

15 – Write the time

The hour is 1. The minute hand on the 6 means 30 minutes. 1:30.

16 – Two clocks

Leo’s clock: the minute hand is on the 1, so 9:05. Aisha’s clock: the minute hand is on the 10, so 9:50. 50 is more than 5, so Aisha’s clock shows the later time.

17 – Put in order

All three are in the 3 o’clock hour, so compare the minutes: 5, 25, 50. 3:05, 3:25, 3:50.

Worksheet problem 18 and after

18 – Lunch time

55 minutes is 11 fives, so the minute hand points to 11. The hour is 11, and the hour hand is almost at the 12, so it is between 11 and 12.

19 – Wake up time

Mei wakes up in the morning. 6:35 a.m.

20 – Piano lesson

So, a quarter to 5 is 45 minutes after 4, so the time is 4:45 p.m. 45 minutes is 9 fives, so the minute hand points to 9.

Key facts behind this 2nd grade telling time worksheet answers

Key facts

The short hand shows the hour and the long hand shows the minutes.
Next, each number on the clock face is worth 5 minutes, so count by fives.
Quarter past is 15 minutes, half past is 30 minutes, and quarter to is 45 minutes.
Minutes are always written with two digits, such as 7:05.
A.m. means midnight to noon, and p.m. means noon to midnight.

Common mistakes with this 2nd grade telling time worksheet answers

Marking a time wrong for a missing zero hides what the child knows. If a child writes 7:5, show that minutes need two digits, so it is 7:05.
In problem 7, Jamal says the minute hand on the 7 means 7 minutes. The correct reading is 35 minutes, because 7 times 5 is 35.
In problem 17, the order of times must go from earliest to latest. Check that the child compared the hours first and then the minutes.

How to use these solutions

First, ask the child to set a missed time on a play clock. Then compare the clock with the written answer.
Also, have the child count by fives out loud for each missed minute reading. The count shows where the slip happened.
Sort errors into reading the minute hand, writing digital time, a.m. and p.m., and comparing times. Then practice the type with the most misses.

2nd grade telling time worksheet answers: frequently asked questions

What is the answer when the minute hand is on the 11?

It is 55 minutes after the hour. Count by fives to the 11: 5, 10, 15, up to 55. Problem 8 asks about the clock just before the hour, so the time is 55 minutes after the hour shown by the short hand.

How do I check a.m. and p.m. answers?

Think about the event. Breakfast is in the morning, so it is a.m. After school is in the afternoon, so it is p.m. Midnight to noon is a.m., and noon to midnight is p.m.

What if a child writes a time in words?

Accept it if the words match the time. For example, quarter past 9 is 9:15. Ask the child to write the digital time too, since the lesson asks students to read and write both. Then check the result once more before moving on.
