The video explains the concept of telling time by breaking it down into seconds, minutes, hours, and days using a traditional clock. It covers how the second hand counts seconds, the minute hand counts minutes, and the hour hand counts hours, distinguishing between am and pm.

In this lesson of Math Antics, we delve into the concept of time measurement. From seconds to days, we explore the various units used to quantify time and their relationships.

The chapter discusses the evolution of time measurement devices, starting from the sundial to traditional clocks with multiple hands. It explains how sundials and clocks work, highlighting the significance of the number 60 in timekeeping.

Clocks use distinct markings to aid in reading time efficiently. The minute and second hands move in relation to these markings, while the hour hand follows a unique pattern due to the 24-hour day cycle.
