Lesson #1


Lesson One: Time

Standard
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.MD.C.7
Tell and write time from analog and digital clocks to the nearest five minutes, using a.m. and p.m.

Objective
Students will be able to show time by writing and telling it from analog and digital clocks to the nearest five minutes, using a.m. and p.m.

Anticipation Guide
Tell the class they will watch a video on telling time.
Record the current time on the board.
After the video, record the ending time to the nearest minute. Ask the class how many minutes passed between the starting and ending times.
Tell the class that today they will tell and write time to the nearest five minutes using an analog clock.
Questions
What is the time?
How many hands does a clock have?
In what ways can we tell the time?
What types of clocks are there?
How many seconds are in a minute?
How many minutes are in an hour?
What does AM and PM mean?
Materials
Demonstration clock, Time Worksheets, laptop, crayons
Vocabulary
Time
Analog
Digital
Clock
Guided Practice
Show the class the demonstration clock and tell them it is called an analog clock. Pointing to the short hand, ask students, "What is the name of this hand?" If necessary, remind students that it is called the hour hand. Repeat by pointing to the long hand and identifying it as the minute hand. Moving the minute hand on the demonstration clock, count aloud the five minute intervals with the class. Set the clock to 1:30. Remind the class that before telling the time, they must look at the hour hand first. Ask students to tell the time shown on the clock and write the digital time on the board. Repeat using 2:00, 3:30, 4:15. Next, ask a student to set the clock to show when school begins. Write the digital time on the board with the words "a.m." or "p.m." next to it. Explain that a.m. means ante meridiem, or before midday, and p.m. means post meridiem, or after midday. Ask the students, "Which one should I circle?" Have students explain why. Show the time that school ends, and have a student read and record the time on the board. Ask the class if a.m. or p.m. should be written. Pass out analog clocks to the students. With the digital time of 2:15 written on the board, ask students to show this time using their analog clocks. Students will compare their clocks to the demonstration clock. Repeat with 4:35, 6:40, and 7:10. Ask the class to show you their lunch time. Allow time for student responses. Model the times on the demonstration clock and record the digital times on the board. Ask students, "Do I write a.m. or p.m. behind our lunch time?"
Group Activity/Independent Practice
Pass out the Five Minute Intervals and A.M and P.M. worksheets. Remind students that they may use their analog clocks for help. Monitor students to provide support when needed.
Review
Ask students to share what they learned in today's lesson. For a quick review, students can use the demonstration clock to show different times.
Differentiated Instruction
Make sure the students are seated where they feel most comfortable to speak. Then let all the children answer questions since it is a smaller group. Help one on one children when they do independent practice and teach them what they have missed so all the children are on the same page.
