- The short orange hand tells the hour. The long blue hand tells the minutes.
- From 3:00, the long hand goes from the 12 down to the 6. That is half way around: half past.
- The short hand has passed 1, 2, 3, but not 4. So it is 3:30, half past 3.
- At half past, the short hand sits between two numbers. Read the one it passed. Great job!
