telling time!

I'm teaching the subject " What time is it ?" . And students always forget to put a "-" when they write a sentence such as " It's seven - seventeen. "
So, I have to remind them all the time never forget to put a dash/hyphen when writing this sentence. Thanks a lot !

Is seven"-"seventeen dash or hyphen ?

I'm teaching in primary school and teaching numbers lately. However, I can't tell exactly dash from hyphen in this sentence : seven"-" seventeen. Could anybody give me a hand ? Thanks!
