Hello Associates,
Immediately in second grade we discovered all about telling time.
My first tip is to place minutes round your classroom clock. I additionally recommend utilizing clocks which have the minutes round it and which have an hour hand that strikes at any time when the minute hand strikes.
I at all times begin off by explaining the usage of the hour hand and the minute hand. We play with the minute arms and rely by fives throughout the clock. This helps the scholars higher perceive what number of minutes are in an hour and the way the clock works (i.e. hour hand transferring because the minutes move).
Then we focus on quarter previous, half previous, quarter to, and o’clock. We start to apply as a category.
Then I allow them to apply on their very own. they love utilizing the iPads and the mini clocks! It’s also possible to show the slides in your interactive whiteboard whereas the scholars apply on the mini clocks.
As soon as they’re snug telling time you may have them play somewhat recreation on PicCollage!
All they need to do is seek for clocks after which write the time. They like to get inventive and put their very own backgrounds and fonts. It is such a fascinating technique to apply!
We additionally performed a enjoyable arms on recreation with large cube! If you haven’t any you may undoubtedly discover smaller ones on-line or use a field and glue the sheets to it.
I merely put footage of analogue clocks on one die and digital occasions on the opposite. I requested a pupil to roll one die and one other to roll the opposite till they made a match. That they had a lot enjoyable! It’s also possible to simply give them some scrap paper or a white board and have them roll the die with the analogue clocks on it and write what time it’s. It is a good way to examine for understanding.
I hope you discover a few of these concepts helpful!
Till subsequent time…
