1. Quarter past and quarter to- PowerPoint ELGs
This powerpoint can be used to support the teaching of ‘Shape, space and measure’ targeted towards the early learning goals.

2. Teaching tip:
Once the children are familiar with o’clock and half past times, why not get them to look at quarter past and quarter to. Look at the hands and explain the different positions and their meaning. Now see if you can tell the time with this information.
