Draw the clock hands
The question
Draw 5:00
How it works.
long hand:the minutes
short hand:the hour
long hand:straight up at the 12
hour is:5
on the 5
long hand:at the 12
short hand:on the 5
5:00
- 01
Start with the long hand — where it points tells you how far the short hand has moved.
- 02
Zero minutes past, so the long hand goes straight up to the 12.
- 03
Now the short hand, and an o'clock is the one time it sits exactly on a number: straight at the 5.
- 04
Both hands placed, and the face now reads 5:00. Read it back to check.
