Age 7 to 11 Challenge Level:
During the third hour after midnight the hands on a clock point in the same direction (so one hand is over the top of the other). At what time, to the nearest second, does this happen?
Sweeping Hands
Age 7 to 11 Challenge Level:
Use your knowledge of angles to work out how many degrees the hour and minute hands of a clock travel through in different amounts of time.
