Ready to print
Start with a ready-made worksheet
Read an analog clock and its supplied AM/PM label, then find the matching digital display. Check the hour, minutes and period before recording the match; the hands alone cannot establish AM or PM.
Download the practice pages alone, or include a separate answer key or teacher model. Longer activities may use more than one page.

What this activity builds
Recognize the same time in hand positions and digital notation, even when the matching displays appear in a different order.
Worked example
A clock labeled AM has its minute hand at 4 and its hour hand a little past 7. Does it match 7:20 AM or 4:35 AM?
7:20 AM.
The longer hand at 4 means 20 minutes past the hour, and the shorter hand is between 7 and 8. The supplied AM label completes the digital time; it cannot be inferred from the hands. The numerals nearest the hands are not read directly as the two digital numbers.
Teaching notes
Make the practice count
- Read the analog time before searching the digital choices so that visual proximity does not become a guessing strategy.
- Ask for a spoken explanation of one match, naming the job of each hand.
- The default twenty-minute intervals support focused Grade 2 practice. Finer minute settings require more secure counting and hand-position knowledge.
