Grade Level(s): Pre-K–2, 6–8
Duration: l

Unit Description

This lesson was created to teach second graders how to tell time using a non-digital clock. This will prepare them for the future and allow them to learn the necessary life skills needed to flourish later on.

Students will learn about...

the correct way to tell time on a clock face 

why it is important and necessary to know how to read a clock

the phrases everyday individuals say/express when telling the time 

Lesson Description for Day

For this day we will be practicing how to read and demonstrate time on a clock face.

I have included many fun visuals and activities to keep the children's attention while at the same time allowing them to absorb and learn it. 

State Standards

2.MD.5 Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve one- and two-step word problems involving lengths that are given in the same units, e.g., by using drawings (such as drawings of rulers) and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.

Goals

Unit Goals: 

• The students will know how to count by fives and tens

• The students will have the clocks to demonstrate and use as symbols for counting by ones and fives

• The students will understand the basic and everyday terms of reading the time

• The students will have a guide (the clock) for subtracting, adding, and counting  

Lesson Goals:

• The students will learn how to read a clock face

• The students will learn how to tell time on a digital and analog clock

• The students will show their understanding of this lesson by completing a worksheet

Methods

Anticipatory Set: 

This will be the fun and interactive video I show the class when they are all seated and ready to learn

Introduce and Model New Knowledge: 

• We will begin class by watching this video explaining and giving an overview of how to read a clock face (this will take about ten minutes to get started and watch) please encourage students to respond and interact with the video

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrxZWNu72W

• Next I will just talk with the kids for about 10-15 minutes about why it is important to be able to read a clock face and make sure they understood the information in the video

• Then I will pass out the materials needed for the students to make their own clocks (paper plates, pipes, markers) 

• I will show them my example and ask them to do their best to replicate it and help anyone who is struggling (this should take about 20 minutes)

• After everyone has made their clocks I will write sometimes on the board and ask all the students to try and guess what that looks like on the clock face (once they are done they should all hold them up)

• Give them about 3ish minutes to figure it out and after they all held up their clocks I will demonstrate the correct time and answer any questions they have 

• After that activity is over and i feel that they have the hang of it i will ask for volunteers to come up and pull a card from the silver bucket

• This card has a time and the volunteer is to demonstrate that time on his or her clock

• before telling the class if the time on the volunteers clock is correct i will ask the class if they think it is correct or not and have all students show what they believe is the right answer as well

• Each volunteer will get a prize for volunteering no matter if they were correct or wrong (no matter how many times a student’s volunteers they only are allowed to get one prize)

• If there is time at the end of class I will pass out a worksheet for them to start or take home as homework that helps practice telling time. (They will have the option to start the worksheet in class or decorate their clocks with markets and crayons) 

Wrap-Up

I will assign a worksheet to the students to complete throughout the week in hopes of them starting it that day in class or that night.

Assessment

Formative/Ongoing Assessment: 

I will be giving times and the students will have to show the correct time on their clocks that they made. 

I will also have them draw times out of the bucket and show that time on their clocks so I can make sure they understand the concept. If they are struggling I will be able to see and help guide them. 

Summative/End Of Lesson Assessment: 

The students will complete a one page worksheet of practice problems with examples of telling the time of a clock face and being given a time and having to draw the correct time. This will be due by the end of the week on Friday and they will be given other class time in the week to finish it as well. 

Materials

Video & Audio Resources

• 
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrxZWNu72WI
  The students will watch this video at the beginning of class to get a basic understanding of the day's lesson

Art & Music Resources

• crayons, markers, and pencils
  
  At the end of class the students can either use crayons and/or markers to decorate their clocks

or

The students can use pencils to work on the worksheet passed out to them (no specific order-it is completely up to them) 

• paper plates, cleaner pipes, scissors, markers
  
  This will be passed out by the teacher and the students will use these materials to construct their example of a face clock that resembles the teachers
