To teach a child to tell the time in ‘minutes past and to the hour’ requires a 3-Step Time Teaching System and this is what you do:
Present the clock or watch to the child.
Show them how the 2 sides of the dial are colour coded. Tell your child that the right-hand side of the clock is called “Minutes Past”; and the left-hand side is called “Minutes To” (say the colours instead of ’left’ and ‘right’).
Explain that they need to choose the side that the long hand (the minute hand) is pointing to.
Now practise by pointing at a side and asking your child to say the names “Minutes Past” or “Minutes To”.
Keep practising until they are completely confident about which side is which.
