Understanding Time on an Analog Clock

This video tutorial from Moomoomath and Science teaches how to tell time on an analogue clock. It focuses on understanding the hour and minute hands, explaining that the small hand indicates the hour and the large hand shows the minutes. The video provides a simple three-step method to read time: identify the hour with the small hand, draw two dots, and read the minutes with the large hand. Practice examples are included to reinforce learning. The video concludes with a preview of the next lesson, which will cover the third hand on a clock.
