What's on this sheet
Crossing the hour is the whole difficulty, and it is dealt on purpose. 3:15 plus thirty minutes is two easy additions side by side and teaches nothing a number line did not; 3:45 plus thirty is the question — the minutes pass sixty, an hour carries, and base sixty stops being a detail. Questions that cross and questions that do not are drawn as separate groups, so a page never fills with the comfortable kind.
Why this sheet works
Intervals move in five-minute steps, which is how a clock face is read. A thirty-seven-minute jump is arithmetic practice wearing a clock; five, ten, twenty, forty-five are the intervals a child can find by counting round the dial, which is what they should be doing at this stage.
