Understanding Time

Time is a way of measuring or telling how long something takes or when something happens. We use time to know when to wake up, when to eat, when to play, and when to go to bed.

Clocks and Watches

We use clocks and watches to help us understand time. They have numbers and hands that move to show us what time it is. The big hand points to the minutes, and the small hand points to the hours.

Hours and Minutes

Time is made up of hours and minutes. There are 60 minutes in 1 hour. When the big hand points to the 12, it means it's the start of a new hour. When the big hand moves to the 6, it means it's been 30 minutes.

Days, Weeks, and Months

Time is also used to measure days, weeks, and months. A day is made up of 24 hours. Seven days make a week, and four weeks make a month. There are 12 months in a year.

Understanding Events

We use time to understand when events happen. For example, we might have lunch at 12 o'clock and go to bed at 8 o'clock. Time helps us know when things will happen during the day.

Understanding time is an important part of our daily lives. It helps us plan our day and know when things will happen. By learning about time, we can become better at managing our activities and being on time for important events.
