Practise Telling Time to the Minute With Digital Learning Activities!

Are you looking for a fun way for your students to practise telling time to the minute? We created this Time By the Minute Digital Learning Activity for your students to practise their time-telling skills while having some tech-infused mathematical fun!

Drag and Drop to Match Digital and Analogue Clocks

This drag-and-drop activity reinforces telling time to the nearest minute. It includes 24 interactive slides designed for students to use as an independent practise activity to review telling time concepts. Students read an analogue clock on each slide, then drag and drop the digits needed to show the same time on the digital clock.

This resource is designed for EDIT mode, not presentation mode. Simply assign the slide deck to Google Classroom or another LMS, then have students open the slides in edit mode. If they switch to presentation mode, they will not be able to move the numbers.  We have also included a printable answer key for students (or teachers) to reference for easy grading. 

Download and Use Your Telling the Time Interactive Games
