Telling+Time

Grade Level: 1  Unit: Clock and Number Line Usage  Assignment type: Introducing concept of time/ and number line  Real World Simulation of time  Lesson objectives (include 2 or 3):  Time required to complete this lesson: 45 minutes to make paper clock and ½ hr to practice time  Students will use clock to remind them of recesses, lunch time, and go home time  Title of lesson: Telling Time  Resources/materials needed: Paper plates Construction paper <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Scissors <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Markers <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Paper fastener <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Store clock in cubby hole for future use <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Pre-constructed clock as example <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Written steps on board <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Description of lesson (if you were to describe to a parent what was happening in the classroom for this lesson, what would you say in a few paragraphs). <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Bring pre-constructed clock and show them how to tell time on clock. I want to show parents how we constructed the clock so they can understand how I teach students to follow directions. I demonstrate how to construct the clock in simple steps by writing the directions on the board and then showing them how on their clock. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> The mathematical concept I’m teaching the student is a numeric number line. The more advanced students will understand the equal spacing of the numbers which will help them understand fractions and estimation. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Assignment (homework or in-class: this is how the learner will practice the learning that has just occurred): <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">At home have the student build a schedule of their activities. Then practice putting that time on their clock. In class have students practice using their clock to tell certain times like recess, lunch, and go home time. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Technology used: <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Digital Clock vs. Sweeping hand clock. Bring in 24 hour clock / an example of how to use a sun dial, and a need for more precise measure. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">The technology used in this lesson changes the teaching / learning in this way: The student will be able to tell the difference in all types of clocks. The clock is used to measure time and the students need to understand when and where they need to be. That everything runs on time.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Student will understand how to listen to verbal instruction and written numbers on board and translate it to number on their paper clock
