Teacher tip

Add the days of the week song to your morning routine the same week.

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.

Talk about it

  • Where does the hour hand point at half past?
  • Which problem was the hardest? What made it hard?

Take it further

Ask kids to record the time of five things they do after school.
