The first experience young children have of telling the time is usually when they learn how to say what hour it is (one o'clock, two o'clock and so on) by recognizing the longer minute hand is pointing to the 12. This knowledge of telling the time gradually extends to recognizing that when the minute hand points to the 6, it is half past the hour (half past one, half past two and so on).

Can you tell the time?
