Teacher tip
Remind kids: bigger unit to smaller unit, multiply. Smaller to bigger, divide. Write it on the board.
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 long until lunch? How did you work it out?
