Telling Time 5 Minutes Draw Clock Practice Activities
Printable Class 2 maths worksheets where children draw analogue clock hands for times shown in 5-minute intervals.
Practice that builds confidence
Moving beyond o’clock and half past
These Class 2 maths worksheets help children draw the hands on an analogue clock for times given in 5-minute steps, such as 2:05, 4:25, 7:40 and 9:55. Learners practise placing the minute hand accurately while also deciding where the hour hand should sit between two numbers.
The printable activities include clear clock faces, written digital times, and repeated drawing practice so children can connect counting by fives with real clock positions. They are useful after children can read o’clock and half past times and are ready for more precise time-telling.
Drawing time to the nearest 5 minutes is a big step in Class 2 maths because children must coordinate two ideas at once. The minute hand moves around the full clock in jumps of 5 minutes, while the hour hand slowly moves from one hour number to the next. These worksheets focus only on drawing the clock, so children are not distracted by extra word problems while they build accuracy.
What children practise on each clock
Children look at a written time and draw both hands on an analogue clock face. For 3:10, the minute hand points to 2 and the hour hand stays just after 3. For 6:45, the minute hand points to 9 and the hour hand is close to 7, not exactly on 6. This repeated practice strengthens vocabulary such as hour hand, minute hand, past, to, quarter past and quarter to when those terms arise naturally.
A simple parent routine
At home, begin with skip-counting around a real clock: 5, 10, 15, 20 and so on. Then choose one worksheet time, ask your child to touch the minute number first, and only then draw the minute hand. Next ask, “Has the hour hand moved a little or a lot?” This question helps children place the shorter hand between numbers instead of always on a number.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these pages for maths centres, morning practice, revision after a time lesson, or quick checks before moving to elapsed time. One group can draw the hands, another can compare answers with a teaching clock, and a third can say the time aloud. The same sheet can also support peer discussion: “Why is the hour hand closer to 8 at 7:50?”
Common errors to watch for
Many children reverse the long and short hands, place the minute hand on the minute number instead of the clock number, or draw the hour hand exactly on the hour for times like 5:35. Some count the numbers as 1 minute each instead of 5 minutes each. Encourage neat, straight hands that begin at the centre point so the intended time is clear.

Why iBloom worksheets help
The practice is focused, uncluttered and age-appropriate for Class 2 learners. The clock faces give enough space for drawing, and the 5-minute interval format builds confidence through repetition. A helpful child strategy is: “Count by fives for the long hand, then slide the short hand towards the next hour.”
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What skill do these Class 2 worksheets focus on?
They focus on drawing the hour and minute hands on an analogue clock when a time is given in 5-minute intervals, such as 1:15, 3:40 or 8:55.
Should my child already know o’clock and half past before using these?
Yes. These worksheets are best after children can recognise o’clock and half past times, because 5-minute intervals require more careful minute counting and hour-hand placement.
How can I explain where the minute hand goes?
Ask your child to count around the clock by fives. The number 1 means 5 minutes, 2 means 10 minutes, 3 means 15 minutes, and so on until 12 means 60 or o’clock.
Why is the hour hand not always exactly on a number?
The hour hand moves slowly as the minutes pass. At 4:30 it is halfway between 4 and 5, and at 4:50 it is much closer to 5.
What is the most common mistake in drawing these clocks?
A common mistake is putting the hour hand exactly on the hour for times like 2:35 or 9:45. Children need to show that the hour hand has moved towards the next hour.
