Teacher tip
Ask kids to write the digital time under each clock first, then draw the lines.
How to use it
- Count by fives around the clock together before kids start.
- Connect it to your real schedule: what time is lunch, recess, the bus?
- Do the first problem together under a document camera, then let kids finish on their own.
Watch for
Counting minutes by ones from the 12 instead of by fives.
