To start off my lesson, the class and I went over the essential question. Then I went over what the parts of the clock were. We discussed the minute hand, the hour hand, and the seconds hand and how each play a role in telling time. After the parts of the clock were understood, I explained that 60 seconds equals a minute, 60 minutes equal and hour, 30 minutes is equal to a half hour, and 15 minutes is equal to a quarter of an hour. One of my students made the connection that a quarter hour is 15 minutes and that happens 4 times, just like 4 quarters equals a dollar. This comment lead to a great classroom discussion and I used it as a teachable moment. This discussion led right into the next part of the lesson. On the anchor chart above, the 4 clocks were completely blank to start my lesson. I went through with my students and showed them how the minute hand moves from 5 minutes, to 15 minutes, to 30 minutes, and a whole hour. This gave them a great visual and they were able to see with the colored shading how much 5 minutes is versus how much 30 minutes is. After the anchor chart engage, I passed out half sheets of paper and had my students work on filling in their own clocks as I modeled under the elmo. Here are the finished products below.
