Free practice quizzes › Year 1 Maths quiz › Telling time
A short orientation first. Year 1 time is reading o'clock and half-past on analogue and digital clocks, sequencing the events of a day, and knowing the days of the week and months of the year. Duration language, such as longer than and sooner, is also part of the Victorian Curriculum for this year.
Our tutors wrote and checked these questions against the Victorian Curriculum, which is why the wording and the difficulty match what a Year 1 student meets at school.
If your child gets a question wrong here, it is worth checking whether one of these is behind it. They are the telling time misconceptions RHZ tutors correct most often with Year 1 students:
Spotting which one applies is the useful part; the fix is usually quick once the misunderstanding is out in the open.
Practice works when it is short, regular and specific. For telling time, our tutors suggest:
Young children learn number through their hands and their conversation. Count, compare and share real things at home, and let your child explain what they are doing.
The 10 questions are drawn from 10 eligible items on telling time in our Year 1 maths bank, all at the easy and at-level tiers. The selection is fixed for this address so a shared link shows the same quiz; press New set of questions or add ?seed= to the address for a different mix. Options are shuffled, no two questions share a stem, and the answer key is fetched from our server only after you submit, so it is not hidden in the page.
Because every question here is on telling time, a low score is a clear signal and a high score is genuinely reassuring for this topic. What it cannot tell you is whether the other Year 1 maths topics are equally secure, or how far above the year level the student can go; the free Skills Check covers both.
A one-page summary of telling time at Year 1 level, written by RHZ tutors to the Victorian Curriculum. Read it before the quiz, or print it for revision.
How to revise this: make a paper-plate clock with two coloured hands and set it to breakfast, school and bedtime every day.

Read the explanation for each incorrect answer first; most gaps in telling time are one of the misconceptions listed on this page. Then try a second set a few days later. If it is still low, the free Skills Check will show whether the gap is confined to this topic, and a tutor can build a short catch-up plan.
