Analog clocks can be found in classrooms. Old clock towers use analog clocks with hands. Analog clocks aren’t used as often as digital clocks now. They will always be around, so everyone should know how to read one.

Digital clocks show the exact time using numbers.
Digital clocks can have any shape of face. The first number tells us the hour. The second number tells us the minutes. Digital clocks often use a colon (:) to separate the hour from the minutes.

Digital clocks are almost everywhere.
Digital clocks are almost anywhere you look! They are on phones, alarm clocks, laptops, and in cars. Digital clocks make telling time easier by showing the hour and then the minute. You can read the time by reading the hour and then the minutes.
