'12 minutes slow' for 3rd grade
3rd grade / Comparing numbers / Time / 12 minutes slow
What is the correct time if the clock is 12 minutes slow?
So, you have a clock that is running 12 minutes slow. That means it is always telling you a time that is 12 minutes earlier than the real time. So if it says the time is 4:30 PM the actual time is 12 minutes later which is 4:42 PM. Here are the steps to work out the correct time:
Step 1: Read the time on the slow clock. Look at the clock and read the time it's showing. Let's say the slow clock is showing 4:25 PM (twenty-five past four).
Step 2: Understand what it means for a clock to be slow. A clock that is "slow" means it's showing a time that's earlier than the actual, correct time. In our case, the clock is 12 minutes slow, which means it's showing a time that's 12 minutes earlier than the real time.
Step 3: Add the slow minutes. Now we need to add those extra 12 minutes to the time shown on the slow clock to find the correct time. Here's how we do it:
Start with the minutes on the slow clock: 25 minutes.
Add the 12 slow minutes: 25 + 12 = 37 minutes.
So the correct time is 4:37 PM or "twenty-three minutes to five".
This topic asks you to work out the correct time given that each clock is 12 minutes slow. The clocks are 12 hour clocks and the answers are given as words such as "thirteen minutes past seven".
With our quick math tests you will be revising "12 minutes slow" in 2 simple steps. The math in our tests consists of 16 questions that ask you to if the clock is slow by exactly 12 minutes calculate the correct time.
These math tests are designed to round off your learning experience here at Free Math Games by testing whether you can correctly recognize the math you have learned (in the multiple choice test) and that you can correctly enter the correct answers (in the writing test).
Make sure you have chosen the correct topic before starting! Although these tests are timed, try to relax and concentrate on getting the answers right at first - later you can try the tests again more quickly.
The two types of tests are:
- A multiple choice quiz to check your recall of the math
- A writing test to check your math for the selected topic
Key features of our math tests include:
- You can do these tests at home (or at school) without the help of a teacher
- You can repeat our tests as often as you need to improve your scores
- The tests check your comprehension for the topic
- The writing test also checks your ability to write / type math answers for the topic
- The tests use all the questions in a topic, so you will see questions that weren't in the lessons
You should expect to score 8+ / 10 in each test before you select a new topic. It is a good idea to repeat the test for each topic you do after two weeks to "reinforce" the math for that topic

How to use our math tests for
'12 minutes slow' for 3rd grade
- On the settings screen, select the test you would like to take.
- A new screen will open with information concerning the test.
- When you are ready to begin, click "Start the test".
Multiple choice test
This is a multiple choice activity similar to "What is it" in the Math lessons - you are shown a randomly selected question from the topic you are using. A selection of topic answers are displayed as a list. If you click/tap the speaker beside any answer you will hear the audio for that answer.
For each question, you must click on the answer that matches that question. If your answer is correct you will hear a bell and one star will be lit. The next question will be shown. If your answer is wrong, a box will open showing you what the correct answer was.
The test is timed, and the clock starts when you click the Start button. The clock stops when you click your final answer. At the end of your test a screen will tell you how many of the questions you got right and how long you took to complete the test.
Writing test
The writing test checks whether you can type the correct answer using your keyboard. This test is also timed. You can do the test many times until you get a good score. To start the test, click on the "Writing test" sign in the navigation board, then click on the "Start the test" arrow.
A random problem from your selected topic is shown. Beneath the problem there is a white box into which you should type the answer. If you need a little help you can click on the "Help me" button for a tip. Only use the help if you really need to.
If you type the answer correctly your device will automatically light a star. If you have entered your answer and no star lights up, click on the tick or press Enter to check your answer. When you have tried all the questions, a screen will show you how many questions you answered correctly and how long it took.
* Try to score 8 out of 10 in both test before you choose a new topic *
* It is OK to do the tests many times if you need to *
