James and Matthew want to draw half
past two. Who is right, James or Matthew?
The minute hand on James’s clock is
pointing at number six. The minute hand on Matthew’s clock
is between the number two and the number three. The minute hand on James’s clock
has made half a turn from o’clock to half past. Does James’s clock say half past
two? Let’s check the hour hand.
The hour hand is pointing between
number two and number three. This means the hour is between 2
and 3 o’clock. It’s after 2 o’clock, but not quite
3 o’clock. So James’s clock says half past
two. James is correct. The hour hand on Matthew’s clock is
pointing to number six, which means it’s something past six. This means that James is correct
because his clock shows half past two.
