Digital Clocks: Half Hours
Ages 4–6 · 7 minutes · Math
Learn to read times ending in 30
In this lesson, we move on from reading times on the hour and start reading times on the half hour. If a student knows their numbers up to 30 and has a basic understanding of hours and minutes, they are ready for this lesson.
