Feedback:
Most 7-year-olds can tell the time in hours, but they may have trouble with concepts such as "half past" and "quarter to," especially with the prevalence of digital clocks. Six-year-olds still define objects by use. Eight- and nine-year-olds have moved passed telling time and are interested in mastering other things.
