Teacher tip
Ask kids to share what they do at 7 AM and 7 PM. The difference sticks.
How to use it
- Keep a geared demo clock at the front and model each type of problem.
- Color the hour hand and the minute hand differently on the first two clocks.
- Do the first problem together under a document camera, then let kids finish on their own.
Watch for
Reading the hour hand as the next hour when it is just before it, like 2:50 read as 3:50.
Talk about it
- How do you know which hand is the hour hand?
- Which problem was the hardest? What made it hard?
Take it further
Make a paper plate clock with brads for the hands.
