Telling+Time

by Jessica Rust
 * 2nd Grade - Telling Time**
 * This lesson is a review of telling time to the hour, half hour, and five minute intervals.
 * This lesson is designed to be taught in the computer lab or using the mobile lab in the classroom.

GLE 0206.1.1 Use mathematical language, symbols, and definitions while developing mathematical reasoning. GLE 0206.1.6 Read and interpret the language of mathematics and use written/oral communication to express mathematical ideas precisely. GLE 0206.1.8 Use technologies/manipulatives appropriately to develop understanding of mathematical algorithms, to facilitate problem solving, and to create accurate and reliable models of mathematical concepts.

CFU 0206.1.1Read and write time up to five-minute intervals.

1. The teacher will begin the lesson by showing a power point reviewing the parts of a clock and what they mean. The power point also includes a section where a clock face is shown and the students should be able to answer with the correct time.

2. After the whole group instruction the students will have the opportunity to practice and review on their own. The students will have several activities to choose from. These activities are listed below. (The teacher may use this time to individually asses the students as they play the games.)

__Mega Math__- The students may log onto the mega Math program. This should already be installed on all school computers. The students will log on using their user name and password. They will then complete practice lessons the teacher has selected for them.

[|Bang on Time] - The students will stop the moving hands of the clock when it reaches the correct time.

[|Snapdragon Time] - The students will use arrows to move the hands to the correct time on the clock face.

[|Time Match] - The students will match analog and digital clocks.

[|Stop the Clock] - The students will match analog and digital clocks as fast as they can. They will "stop the clock" when they think they have the times matched correctly. Each student should try to get the best time they can.

To close the lesson the teacher will ask if there are any questions about telling time, or anything the students may not be understanding. The teacher will then divide the students into teams to play the Telling Time power point game. The teacher may use teacher observation during the game to assess the students understanding of time.
