How to Read a Clock

The SHORT red hand shows the HOUR (1-12)
The LONG blue hand shows the MINUTES (0-55)
When the long hand points to 12, it's :00 (exactly on the hour)
When the long hand points to 6, it's :30 (half past)
When the long hand points to 3, it's :15 (quarter past)
When the long hand points to 9, it's :45 (quarter to the next hour)
Each number = 5 minutes! Count by 5s: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30...
