What kids do
“Write the time two ways: with numbers, and with “quarter past” or “quarter to”.”
Teacher tip
Fold a paper circle into fourths. A quarter of an hour is a quarter of the clock face.
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?
