I have discalculia, I could not read an analog clock until I was maybe 16 and even then it took a lot of time for me to figure out anything past what hour it was, because of course I couldn’t learn the multiplication table to memory.
So the minute hand is halfway between 6 and 7. Each number represents 5 minutes so just multiply that number by 5. Sorry I can’t do that without a calculator or a multiplication table right in front of my eyes.
Not once have I multiplied the number the minute digit is pointing to by 5 when reading a clock.
There are four checkpoints for me : 15, 30, 45 and 60 (full hour) at the quarter points. I just add 5 minutes or subtract 5 minutes for every 5 minute step depending on what quarter point is closer.
