Unit 7: Telling Time
Lesson 1
Telling Time Review
The Skills section explicitly states that students should "Tell and write time from analog and digital clocks to the nearest five minutes, using AM and PM." Activities require students to move the hands on geared and write-and-wipe clocks to show and read times in analog and digital form (examples include 3:00, 9:00, 8:30, 4:30). Student pages and matching/writing activities have students convert between analog clocks, digital times, and word forms for whole hours and half hours.
Lesson 2
AM and PM
The skills section explicitly states students will "Tell and write time from analog and digital clocks to the nearest five minutes, using AM and PM." Students are asked to show and write specific times (3:30, 6:00, 4:30, 9:00, 10:30) on a Write and Wipe Clock and to place the hour hand between numbers for half-hour times. Students use a geared clock to move the hour hand around the day while saying each hour with "AM" for the first 12 hours and "PM" for the second 12 hours, and they show 12:00 in both analog and digital formats and write 12:00 AM and 12:00 PM.
Lesson 3
Units of Time
The Skills section explicitly lists "Tell and write time from analog and digital clocks to the nearest five minutes, using AM and PM." Students read a book titled Telling Time: How To Tell Time on Digital and Analog Clocks and are asked to find information about digital, analog, minute hand, and hour hand. Students are prompted to explain whether it is currently AM or PM using real-life cues.
Lesson 4
Telling Time to 5 Minutes
Students practice counting minutes by fives and placing minute-number cards around a large clock face (Activity 1). Students move the minute hand on a geared clock and read and write times such as 4:05, 4:10, 4:15, and 4:20, and write times in digital format (Activity 2 and Activity 3). Students match analog clocks to digital times on the "Matching 5-Minute Times" sheet and complete sequencing and maze activities that require ordering and reading times in five-minute increments (Activities 3 and 4).
Lesson 5
Ways to Say Times
Students are asked to show specific times on analog clocks (Wipe and Write Clock, geared clock) such as 3:15, 3:30, 3:45 and to write times in digital format (e.g., 4:20, 3:30). Students practice saying times to the nearest five minutes, including times before and after the half hour (e.g., 6:10, 2:40, 1:55) and counting minutes by fives as the minute hand moves. Students match clocks to written phrases (Hour, Half Hour, Quarter Past, Quarter To) and use an online game set to "Read time to the nearest five minutes."
Lesson 6
Time and Daily Activities
The Skills statement explicitly lists "Tell and write time from analog and digital clocks to the nearest five minutes, using AM and PM." The Introduction has the child read times shown on a geared (analog) clock and say each time in multiple ways (e.g., 4:15, 8:30, 3:45). Activity 1 has students read and compare written times with AM labels (8:15 AM, 8:45 AM, 9:05 AM) and determine which comes first/last. Activity 2 has students write times for daily activities on index cards and add AM or PM to each time.
Lesson 7
More Practice With Time
Students are asked to move the hands on a geared clock and to show times such as "half past 4," "a quarter to 7," and several times given to the minute. Activity 1 directs students to play ClockWorks at the "Medium" level for time to 5 minutes so students move hour and minute hands and think about the hour hand's position for times like 5:25. Activity 2 asks students to read analog clocks on the "Writing Times" sheets and provide two ways to write each time, and the answer key lists numeric and verbal forms for times at five-minute intervals (e.g., 2:45, 6:15, 12:05).
Lesson 8
Time Problem Solving
The lesson's Skills list explicitly states students will "Tell and write time from analog and digital clocks to the nearest five minutes, using AM and PM." The ClockWorks activity directs students to move clock hands at "Medium" to practice times to 5 minutes and to think about hour-hand placement (e.g., 5:25). The Match Analog and Digital Clocks web game has students match digital times to analog faces. The Swimming activity gives start times (e.g., 8:00, 9:45, 10:00) that students must read and use to answer sequence and duration questions.
Final Project
Making a Schedule
The Skills section explicitly states that students will "Tell and write time from analog and digital clocks to the nearest five minutes, using AM and PM." The day schedule sheets list times from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM and Step 5 asks students to explain what would be happening at specific times including 8:30 AM, 10:00 AM, 3:30 PM, 6:00 PM, 7:00 PM and 4:30 PM. The student pages include clock illustrations (analog and digital) and instructions for using a geared clock to move minute hands in quarter-hour increments.
Unit 8: Money
Lesson 1
Penny, Nickel, and Dime Review
The Skills list explicitly includes "Tell and write time from analog and digital clocks to the nearest five minutes." At the end of the lesson, students are asked to show specific times on a geared (analog) clock: "a quarter to 4, half past 6, a quarter past 10, 9:25, 1:40," which are all to the nearest five minutes. Students are prompted to demonstrate understanding of common time phrases (quarter to, half past, quarter past) and numeric five-minute times on an analog clock.
Lesson 4
Fun With Money
The Skills section explicitly lists "Tell and write time from analog and digital clocks to the nearest five minutes." In Wrapping Up, students are asked to show specific times on a geared (analog) clock: a quarter to 9, half past 2, a quarter past 3, 8:20, and 6:50. The listed practice times are all at five-minute increments, giving students practice reading and setting analog times to the nearest five minutes.
Unit 10: Skills Review
Lesson 2
Reviewing Addition and Subtraction
The Skills list explicitly states that students will "Tell, write, and show times to the nearest five minutes." The Wrapping Up asks students to show specific times on a geared (analog) clock, including a quarter past 3, four twenty, ten thirty, 6 o'clock, half past eight, a quarter to nine, and one forty. The listed times are all multiples of five minutes (0, 15, 20, 30, 40, 45), which targets telling time to the nearest five minutes.
Lesson 3
Reviewing Linear Measurement
The lesson's Skills list explicitly states that students will "Tell, write, and show times to the nearest five minutes." The Introduction asks the child to read times shown on a geared (analog) clock and to name them in multiple ways, giving examples (5:15, 8:30, 10:45, 3:20, 2:35) that are to the nearest five minutes and include common verbal forms (e.g., "a quarter past", "half past", "a quarter till").
