How does this quiz work?
Read each question, choose one answer among A, B, C and D, then check it: a short explanation appears after every answer. Your score out of 10 is shown at the end, and you can restart the quiz as often as you like.
What should you review before the quiz?
Reread the key facts of the lesson and the worked example. If a question is hard, go back to the matching part of the lesson, then try the quiz again. Write your work on scrap paper: most mistakes come from skipping a step, not from the idea itself.
Remember:
- The short hand is the hour hand and the long hand is the minute hand.
- Minute hand on 12 means o’clock. A digital clock shows :00.
- Minute hand on 6 means half past. A digital clock shows :30.
- At half past, the hour hand is halfway between two numbers. Read the smaller number.
- An analog clock has hands and a digital clock has numbers, but both can show the same time.
