Clock Face Addition

This worksheet is designed for students in Grades 2 and 3 to strengthen their understanding of elapsed time through hands-on work with analog clocks. By drawing start times and adjusting clock hands to show the result after adding minutes and hours, learners connect numerical time calculations with visual clock representations, building confidence and accuracy with time measurement.

Learning Goals

• Measuring Elapsed Time (Gr. 2-3): Add minutes and hours to a given start time using analog clocks.
• Understanding Hours & Minutes: Interpret clock hands and recognize minute intervals.
• Addition of Time Intervals: Calculate elapsed time, including crossing the hour mark.
• Representing Time Visually: Translate numerical time changes into accurate clock face drawings.

Instructional Benefits

• Teacher-Created Resource: Designed by educators to align with elementary math standards for time and measurement.
• Visual & Interactive Approach: Drawing clock hands reinforces conceptual understanding beyond memorization.
• Supports Number Sense: Helps students see how time progresses in chunks of minutes and hours.
• Bridges Digital & Analog Time: Strengthens connections between written times and clock faces.
• Flexible Use: Ideal for math centers, independent practice, small groups, intervention, homework, or homeschool instruction.

This Clock Face Addition worksheet helps students develop fluency with elapsed time by making time visible and interactive. By actively adjusting clock hands, learners strengthen accuracy, visual reasoning, and confidence working with hours and minutes-foundational skills for real-world time management and scheduling.
