00:00	clocks are amazing , wonderful inventions . Humans have used
00:05	clocks for a really long time in the ancient world
00:08	. A common type of clock was the sun dial
00:11	. That's right . The sun dial . Sun dials
00:14	are very accurate but are not used often today .
00:18	Have you ever asked what time it is ? And
00:20	someone checks their sun dial ? Yeah , that isn't
00:25	real common Today . Most clocks are digital clocks .
00:30	Digital clocks are really simple to use . They simply
00:33	show the digits for the hour and minutes . So
00:37	here we have a digital clock . Here on the
00:40	left , we see the hour . It is seven
00:42	on the right , we see the minutes . 10
00:46	. So what time is it according to this clock
00:50	? Mm . Yeah , it is 7 10 ,
00:54	10 minutes past seven o'clock . What about this clock
00:57	? Here is another digital clock . What time is
01:00	it according to this clock ? Yes , it is
01:06	10 o'clock on the left . We see the hour
01:09	which is 10 and on the right we see the
01:11	minutes which are just zeros . So it is exactly
01:16	10 o'clock Now . Digital clocks are not the only
01:20	way we can see what time it is . Have
01:22	you ever seen a clock like this before ? Yeah
01:27	. This is called an analog clock . It is
01:30	a different way to display time in this video .
01:34	We are going to learn how to read analog clocks
01:37	which will be super awesome because there are analog clocks
01:42	all around us that want to be read . They
01:44	want to show us the time . So to start
01:48	, we are going to learn some fun things about
01:51	the analog clock . The front is called the face
01:55	of the clock or the dial . Just like you
01:58	have a face . An analog clock has a face
02:01	that's right . The face includes the numbers , the
02:04	parts that spin and all the markings on the clock
02:07	. The face sometimes called the dial has two main
02:11	parts that point to the numbers and spin around .
02:15	They are called hands . Isn't that interesting . The
02:19	shorter hand is the hour hand . It shows us
02:22	what hour it is . The hour hand is short
02:25	. The longer hand is the minute hand , it
02:28	points to the minutes . It's silly , even though
02:31	an hour is longer than a minute . The hour
02:33	hand is shorter . The hour hand is the shorthand
02:37	and the minute hand is the longhand . So just
02:41	like you analog clocks have a face and usually have
02:45	two hands . The short hand points to the hour
02:48	. The long hand points to the minutes . Let's
02:54	go back to our analog clock and see if we
02:57	can figure out what time it is showing . Just
03:00	like we do with the digital clock . Let's look
03:03	at the hour hand the shorthand first . What number
03:06	is it pointing at ? Yes , at the No
03:12	. three . Great . So it is the third
03:15	hour , it is three something . Now . We
03:18	just have to read the minutes . The minute hand
03:21	is the long hand . But how do we read
03:23	the minutes ? It only goes up to 12 .
03:26	And those big numbers are what we use for the
03:28	hours . What do we do , Mr Whiskers ?
03:31	We're recording what , you know how to read the
03:35	minutes on an analog clock . I didn't even know
03:37	you knew how to tell time . You're a cat
03:40	. You have a trick . Well , we should
03:43	hear the trick . It's important for us to learn
03:45	how to do this . Okay , an analog trick
03:48	with Mr Whiskers . It's a little crazy . But
03:51	that's all right . So what's the trick ? Oh
03:55	okay . So we need to count by fives to
03:58	find out the minutes . That's a wonderful trick .
04:01	That's amazing . You see all of those little lines
04:04	in between the numbers on the face of the clock
04:07	represent one minute to find out the minutes . We
04:11	just have to count by fives around the clock .
04:14	Starting at the 12 . The 12 is like the
04:17	starting line when the minute hand is at the 12
04:20	. That means zero minutes . Then the one is
04:23	52 is 10 , then 15 2025 30 35 40
04:31	45 50 55 . And then back to zero .
04:37	All we have to do is count by fives .
04:42	Okay , so we're ready to figure out what time
04:44	this is . Okay , so we already know what
04:47	the hour is . The hour is three ? Yes
04:52	. Okay so we write three . Now we have
04:55	to figure out the minutes and the minute hand is
04:57	pointing at the 12 which means what ? How many
05:01	minutes ? Zero . Yeah . And with minutes we
05:04	always write two digits . So we'll right two zeros
05:09	. What is this time ? Yeah . 3:00 .
05:14	Great job . Okay let's try this one . What
05:19	time does this clock say ? Where's the hour hand
05:24	? Yeah . On the five and where's the minute
05:27	hand , Yep . At the 12 ? So you
05:31	know there are zeros at the end of that .
05:32	What time is it ? Yes , it's five o'clock
05:37	. Great job . Alright , Let's try this one
05:41	. Okay , both hands are pointing at which number
05:46	? Yeah . 12 . What time is this ?
05:50	Mhm . Yes . 12:00 . Great job notice .
05:56	If the minute hand is pointing at the 12 ,
05:59	you always say oclock . So this is 12 o'clock
06:04	just like before we had three o'clock and five o'clock
06:08	. This is 12 o'clock . Terrific . Now we
06:12	are going to change things up , just remember our
06:15	trick count by fives . Okay , let's figure out
06:18	what time this clock is showing us first . Let's
06:21	look at the hour hand . Wait , it isn't
06:24	directly pointing at a number it is between the two
06:28	and the three . No worries . When the hour
06:31	hand is between two numbers , the hour is the
06:34	earlier number . So the hour is to where is
06:38	the minute hand pointing ? That's right at the number
06:43	six . We are going to use Mr Whiskers trick
06:46	And count by fives . We start at the 12
06:50	which is zero then we count 5 . 10 15
06:55	2025 30 . So how many minutes is this showing
07:01	? Mhm . 30 . That's right . So what
07:04	time is the clock showing ? 2.30 ? You got
07:09	it ? This one looks like fun . What time
07:15	is it according to this clock first . Let's look
07:18	at the hour hand . The hour hand is between
07:22	numbers . Again , it is Between which numbers ?
07:26	Yes . Eight and nine . Remember when the hour
07:31	hand is between two numbers ? The hour is the
07:34	earlier number . So the hour is eight . Where
07:38	is the minute hand pointing ? That's right at the
07:43	number three we are going to use Mr Whiskers trick
07:47	and count by fives . We started the 12 which
07:51	is zero then we count 5 . 10 15 .
07:55	So how many minutes is this showing ? 15 ?
08:01	Yeah . So what time is the clock showing ?
08:05	8 15 ? You got it ? How about this
08:12	1 ? What time is it according to this clock
08:16	first . Let's look at the hour hand . The
08:19	hour hand is between numbers again it is between which
08:23	numbers ? Yes . 11 and 12 . Remember when
08:28	the hour hand is between two numbers ? The hour
08:32	is the earlier number . So the hour is what
08:37	? 11 ? You are right okay so where is
08:41	the minute hand pointing , yep . At the number
08:46	nine we are going to use Mr Whiskers trick and
08:50	count by fives . We start with 12 which is
08:54	zero then we count 5 10 15 2025 30 35
09:00	40 45 . So how many minutes is this showing
09:07	? 45 ? You got it ? So what time
09:10	is this clock showing ? 11 45 ? Yes .
09:16	Great job . We looked at examples of when the
09:22	hour hand isn't pointing directly at a number on the
09:26	face of a clock . You know sometimes the minute
09:29	hand isn't pointing directly at a number . Mhm .
09:34	Look at this example , the hour hand is between
09:37	which two numbers ? Yes seven and 8 . Which
09:42	number is the hour , yep . Seven . The
09:47	hour is always the earlier number on the clock when
09:50	it is between two numbers . Now the minute hand
09:54	is near the eight but notice it went past the
09:58	eight by two to figure out the minutes we will
10:01	count by fives just like before and then add to
10:05	at the end the 12 05 10 15 2025 30
10:12	35 40 . Then you just add 40 plus two
10:18	. You got to add to what is 40 plus
10:21	two . Mm . Yeah , 42 . So the
10:26	time is 7:42 . Wonderful job . That's great .
10:31	Yeah . Let's look at one last analog clock .
10:37	Just looking at this clock . What is the hour
10:40	? Mhm . Yes . 12 because 12 is the
10:44	earlier our on the clock . How about the minutes
10:49	? Use the count by fives trick . And notice
10:53	the minute hand is one minute after the four ,
10:57	You'll need to add one minute mm . All right
11:02	, 21 . So the time is 12 21 .
11:07	Let's check the minutes to be sure . 5 10
11:11	15 20 . Then at one which is 21 .
11:15	You have done a great job . Before we conclude
11:20	this video , we want to share to more things
11:22	. What's with the swans ? Were sharing two things
11:26	about analog clocks . We aren't sharing two swans .
11:30	Okay , so first analog clocks sometimes use roman numerals
11:35	instead of regular numbers , fancy clocks and clock towers
11:39	usually use roman numerals . If you need help with
11:42	roman numerals , we do have a video about that
11:45	. The second thing is that you may see a
11:48	thin hand sometimes a different color than the hour and
11:52	minute hands . That shows the seconds . It isn't
11:55	always there and it doesn't help you tell the time
11:58	. It just shows how fast time is moving .
12:01	The second hand moves really fast to tell time .
12:05	We use the two main hands , the hour hand
12:08	and the minute hand . We learned that the front
12:14	of an analog clock is called the face or the
12:17	dial . The pointers on the face of the clock
12:20	are called hands . The short hand shows us the
12:23	hour If the hour hand is between two numbers ,
12:26	the hour is the earlier our on the clock .
12:31	Yeah , the long hand shows us the minutes to
12:34	find the minutes . We count by fives along the
12:37	face of the clock until we reach where the minute
12:40	hand is pointing . Sometimes we need to add a
12:44	few minutes because the minute hand isn't always pointing directly
12:48	at a number . It can take a lot of
12:52	practice , but we hope this video helped you learn
12:54	how to read analog clocks . Now you can read
12:58	the time no matter what type of clock it is
13:01	, unless if it is a sun dial . I
13:03	mean really , really special thanks to our patrons who
13:08	make videos like this video on analog clocks possible .

13:14	patron and get home school pop tattoos , visit home

13:20	As always , you are awesome . We hope to
13:23	catch you next video .
