Time to the Minute

Basics on the topic Time to the Minute
What do you learn about telling time to the minute?
When you're telling time to the exact minute, you can use the HOUR hand, MINUTE hand, and SKIP COUNTING to help figure out the exact time.
First, find the hour by looking at what number the HOUR hand (or short hand) LAST passed.
Next, find the minute by skip counting and counting up.
Finally, put the hour and minute together to find the exact time.
Transcript Time to the Minute
"Do you hear that noise?" : "Yeah, what is that?" : "I don't know (...) it sounds cool, let's go check it out!" : "Welcome one, welcome all to the annual snail race!" : "A snail race? Wohoo!" While Zuri and Freddie watch the snail race, they will need to use the analog clock tower in the park to tell time to the minute. "Time to the Minute" How can you tell time to the exact minute? You can tell time to the exact minute by skip counting and counting up. : "Look at the time, we're already at the ant obstacle." Let's help Zuri and Freddie figure out what time the clock says. Step one: start by finding the hour hand. We can do this by finding the last hour the HOUR hand (or the short hand) passed. Here the last number the HOUR hand (or the short hand) passed, was two. So the hour is two. Now we need to find out how many MINUTES of the hour have passed. We can skip count (... ) and count up to find how many minutes have passed. Let's skip count by fives together until we reach the minute hand. Remember, skip counting is when you count forward by a certain number. Five, (...) ten, (...) fifteen (...) twenty (...) twenty-five (...) thirty (...) thirty-five Now we can find the exact minute by counting up. Thirty-six (...) thirty-seven. The minute is thirty-seven. Step three: put the hour and minute together to find the exact time. If we do that, the time is 2:37. : "Now we're at the butterfly obstacle!" : "What time is it?" Let's help Zuri and Freddie figure out what time it is. Remember, step one is to find the hour (...) by looking at what number the HOUR hand last passed. What is the hour? The last number the RED hour hand passed was three (...) so the hour is three. What is the minute? Remember, step two is to find the minute by skip counting, or, counting up. We can skip count, or count up until we reach the BLUE minute hand. Let's count together! Five (...) ten, (...), fifteen (...) Now we count up to the exact minute. Sixteen (...) seventeen, (...) eighteen. The minute is eighteen. Finally step three, put the hour and minute together. So the time is 3:18. : "Next up is the ladybug obstacle." : "Wow! They got there so fast!" : "No way! What time is it now?" We know that some time has passed, but can you help Zuri and Freddie find the exact time? (...) Great! Remember, step one is to find the hour. Here the last number the hour hand (or the short hand) passed was four, so the hour is four. Next, find the minute by skip counting and counting up. What minute did you get? (...) Lastly, put the hour and minute together. What time did you get? (...) Did you get 4:43? (...) : "Oh no! The green snail got caught in the tricky spider web; that obstacle is always difficult." : "Look! it's the blue snail pulling ahead!" : "Is the blue snail going to win this now? She's my favorite!" : "Yeah, she's the best!" Now it's YOUR turn to help Zuri and Freddie figure out what time it is. What time do you see? (...) The hour hand passed SIX, so the hour is six. If you skip count forward, you should get the number twelve. So, the minute is twelve. The time is 6:12. Remember (...) When you're telling time to the exact minute, you can use the HOUR hand, MINUTE hand, and SKIP COUNTING to help figure out the exact time. First, find the hour by looking at what number the HOUR hand (or short hand) LAST passed. Next, find the minute by skip counting and counting up. Finally, put the hour and minute together to find the exact time. : "AND WE HAVE A WINNER!" : "At last after five hours of racing we can FINALLY anounce that the winner is" (...) Oh great, now NO ONE will know the winner!
