He ate 12 pizzas every day. Then he would tell time by the number of pizzas that were in his stomach.

3. The Hour Hand and Minute Hand
The hour hand is short.
The hour hand has 12 hours to count every time it goes around the clock.
The minute hand is tall.
The minute hand has 60 minutes to count every time it goes around the clock.
Usually people prefer to skip count minutes by fives.

4. The hour hand counted how many pizzas he ate.
The minute hand counted how many slices he ate.

5. This he called “Quarter past 12”

6. He called this “Half past 12”
2 out of 4 is one half

7. “Quarter to 1” 1 quarter left to eat
Sometimes he was really hungry and ate 3 slices of a pizza.
He was embarrassed to tell his friends that he ate 3 quarters, so instead he’d say…
1 quarter left to eat
