LESSON INSTRUCTION
INTRODUCTION
- Begin by explaining that telling time to the nearest five-minute interval is an important skill in everyday life.
- Show examples of analog clocks and their hour and minute hands.
- Explain that the minute hand moves in increments of five minutes and that it takes twelve increments to complete one full rotation of the clock.
- Demonstrate how to read the hour and minute hand on an analog clock to the nearest five-minute interval.
INSTRUCTION
- Using a whiteboard and markers, draw an analog clock and label the hour and minute hands.
- Explain how the minute hand moves in increments of five minutes and how it points to a multiple of five on the clock.
- Demonstrate how to read times to the nearest five-minute interval, such as 5:05, 5:10, and 5:15.
- Provide examples of different times on analog clocks and ask students to identify the time to the nearest five-minute interval.
GUIDED PRACTICE
- Distribute clock face templates with movable hands.
- Ask students to set their clocks to various times as you say them out loud to the nearest five-minute interval.
- Have students write the corresponding time for each clock on a sheet of paper.
INDEPENDENT PRACTICE
- Distribute a worksheet with different times shown on analog clocks.
- Have students match the analog clock with the corresponding time to the nearest five-minute interval.
- Provide individual support and guidance as needed.
- At this stage, students may need reminders on how to read the clocks, so allowing paired work may be an appropriate scaffolding method.
HOMEWORK
- Assign students to tell time on various analog clocks around their homes and record it in their journals.
- Encourage them to use five-minute intervals to reinforce their learning.
EXIT TICKET
- Provide each student with an exit card that contains several time-related word problems.
- Instruct students to solve each problem and explain their thought processes.
- Collect the exit cards to quickly assess students' understanding of the concept.
ASSESSMENT
- Provide each student with an assessment sheet that contains several analog clocks with times to match to the nearest five-minute interval.
- Instruct students to match the analog clock with the corresponding time and explain their thought process.
- Collect the assessment sheets to evaluate students' understanding of the concept.
CLOSURE
- Review the main concepts covered in the lesson, such as how to read and match analog clocks to the nearest five-minute interval.
- Emphasize the importance of being able to tell time to the nearest five-minute interval in everyday life.
- Encourage students to share their thoughts about the lesson and any challenges they faced.
EXTENSION
- Provide students with time-related word problems involving quarter-hour and half-hour intervals, and ask them to solve these problems using analog clocks.
- In pairs, have students create their own time-related word problems that involve specific times and durations, using analog clocks to match the times.
- Using analog clocks, introduce the concept of elapsed time by having students calculate the duration of events or activities, such as a soccer game or a movie.
- Then, have them practice finding the difference between two times to determine the elapsed time.
INTERVENTION
For students who struggle with fine motor skills:
- Provide larger clock face templates and clock hands for them to use during guided and independent practice.
For students needing extra support:
- Provide additional practice problems that gradually increase in difficulty to help build their skills.
- Offer one-on-one guidance during independent practice to address individual needs.
For visual learners:
- Utilize visual aids, such as pictures or diagrams, to help them understand the concepts.
- Provide visual examples of time-related word problems to support their learning.
VIDEOS
No Video Available
TEACHING TIPS
- Use visual aids, such as pictures or diagrams, to help students understand the concepts.
- Provide extra practice problems that gradually increase in difficulty.
- Offer one-on-one guidance during independent practice to address individual needs.
STUDENT MISCONCEPTIONS
- Students may confuse the hour hand with the minute hand.
- Students may struggle with the concept of the minute hand moving in increments of 5.
- Students may have difficulty matching analog clocks to the correct time.
STANDARD
Common Core Standard:
2.MD.C.7 - Tell and write time from analog and digital clocks to the nearest five minutes, using a.m. and p.m.
