Learning Module Objectives:
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.MD.C.7
Tell and write time from analog and digital clocks to the nearest five minutes, using a.m. and p.m.
I can tell and write time from analog and digital clocks to the nearest five minutes, using a.m. and p.m.
These objectives are standards from the Common Core State Standards for second grade.
Prerequisite skills:
I can name and label the parts of an analog clock.
I can tell and write time in hours and half-hours using analog and digital clocks.
Essential Vocabulary for this unit:
Analog Clock
Digital Clock
Minute Hand
Hour Hand
A.M.
P.M.
Looking ahead:
In third grade students will be working to tell and write time to the nearest minute and measure time intervals in minutes. Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of time intervals in minutes, e.g., by representing the problem on a number line diagram.
By the end of this lesson, you will review and remember the different parts of a clock and the difference between an analog and digital clock.
There are two major clocks that we use to tell time. They are analog and digital clocks. Analog clocks use different hands and numbers that move around a circle to tell time. Digital clocks use numbers with a colon in between to tell us the time. As you explore through this update, you will learn and review the different types of clocks and their parts.
Analog Clock
Hands of a Clock
Analog clocks have different hands to help us tell the time. Look at the graphic below to tell you what each of them look like and what they tell us.
Digital Clock
Below you will find a digital clock. They show the hour and minutes in numbers separated by a colon.

Teaching tips:
Extension:
We organize and label time throughout the day with A.M. and P.M. It is important to know what time of day it is in order to stay organized and to be on time for things.
Read the poster below to understand a.m.
Read the poster below to understand p.m.
Watch this video to understand the difference between the two different times of day.
We use the label a.m. to tell us that the time is between midnight and noon.
We use a.m. to identify times that occur int he morning. Here are some examples of A.M. Activities: Waking up, getting ready for school, eating breakfast
We use the label P.M. to tell us the time is between noon and midnight. We usually say p.m. is the afternoon and nighttime.
Here are some examples of P.M Activities: Going home from school, eating dinner, going to bed
Play this GAME to understand telling time and a.m. and p.m. Pay attention to when it is light out and when it gets dark to help you know the difference!

Teaching Tips:
Extension/Reteach Activities:
By the end of this update, you will be able to tell time to the nearest hour on analog clock.
We remember from the first update that the small hand on the clock tells us the hour. As the minute hand moves around the clock, the hour hand isn't always pointing directly at the number. You need to be aware that even though the hour hand is halfway between two numbers, it is still within the hour of the number it hit first.
You can think of this like you think of reading a chapter in a book. When you start a chapter, you are in that chapter until you reach the next one, which is very similar to the hands on the clock.
Watch this Brainpop on telling time to the nearest hour. Complete either the easy or hard quiz found underneath the video.
Play this Clock Splat Game. Start with Level One which focuses on finding the hours. Challenge yoursel and see if you can do the other levels, too!
Homework:
Purpose: By the end ot this update, students will be able to tell time to the nearest hour on analog and digital clocks. They will explore different videos, posters, and anchor charts to learn about the topic. They will complete some online activities to practice the skill. Then they will discuss and create an update with their own clocks they have found and will tell their classmates what time the clocks say and how they know they are correct. This is an important skill to master in order to achieve the learning standard target of telling time to the nearest 5 minutes.

By the end of this update, you will be able to tell time to the nearest half hour on an analog clock.
Now that you have mastered how to tell time to the nearest hour, we will move on to telling time to the nearest half hour. Watch the video below to help explain this.
When the big hand is on the six, it means it is 30 minutes past the hour. Both of these clocks below show the time 3:30.

Purpose: The purpose of this update is to teach students how to tell time to the nearest half hour on an analog clock. This skill is important when building to the standard of being able to tell time to the nearest 5 minutes.
Teaching Tips:
Extensions/Extra Resources:
By the end of this update, you will have a clear understanding of how to tell time to the nearest 5 minutes when looking at an analog clock.
You have learned a lot (and maybe reviewed a lot!) about different clocks, telling time to the nearest hour, half hour, and now we are going to go over how to tell time to the nearest 5 minutes. The first thing you need to know in order to do this is that when using the big hand to read the minutes, each number stands for 5 minutes. We know that there are 60 minutes in an hour.
You have to be able to count by 5's in order for this to be the quickest! Look at the chart below and listen to the song to review counting by 5's.
Watch this video to see some examples and how to walk through the process of telling time to the nearest 5 minute.
Complete this online activity to practice telling time to the nearest 5 minutes.

Purpose: The purpose of this update is to teach students how to tell time to the nearest half hour. All of the updates have been building upon each other, and this one helps reach the final desired outcome of the learning standard
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.MD.C.7
Tell and write time from analog and digital clocks to the nearest five minutes, using a.m. and p.m.
Teaching Tips: Be sure to allow plenty of time for practice with this skill. It is hard for 2nd graders to remember that they need to count by 5's for the minutes, but the hours are just what the number says on the clock. Continue to remind them the hour hand is the short hand and the minute hand is the long hand.

By the end of this update, you will have practiced telling time to the nearset hour, half hour, and 5 minutes. You will also be labeling your times with the correct a.m. or p.m. label to show what time of day something is ocurring.
Hopefully this module has helped you have a better grasp of being able to tell time using an analog clock. I know it can be tricky to remember all of the important things we have gone over!
Here are some great games and activities you can play and go through in order to practice telling time. With practice and hard work, it will become easier for you- so don't give up!!
Homework:
Purpose: The purpose of this update is to review all of the skills that have been taught throughout the module. Students will be reminded of important points to remember when learning to tell time, and will be given opportunities and games to practice the skills.
Teaching tips:
Remind students of these important facts:
Display anchor charts on the walls for reference when the students are learning. You can start with a quick telling time check at the beginning of the lesson by showing a clock and having the students write quick responses on white boards.
For the peer review project, you will be creating a video lesson in which you will represent timelines and scenarios using different times throughout (paying attention to a.m. and p.m labels). For the video lesson you will choose one from the following three topics and present them in video form. These stories/timelines should be different than previous ones you have posted on your updates. You may use any of the moveable clocks, white boards, or math resources from our math cubby station (or any from home!) to complete this.
Each scenario that you present should be followed by a few sentences explaining the sequential order with written times. Make sure to include important vocabulary words and thoroughly explain your thought process.
Topics:
Below is the rubric for you to reference as you create your project.
This peer reviewed project is the final assessment for this learning module. This will allow students to demonstrate their understanding by applying the knowledge they have gained. It will allow them to think creatively and have ownership of their work with the flexibility of the assignment. Students will also be able to access their creative work in the future and it will act as an example for future students. Ideally, this work should be assigned by the fourth update so that students have sufficient time to complete the task.
Here is the rubric to assess the work:
This knowledge survey is a formative assessment to provide the teacher with data needed to extend or reteach a lesson. This survey can be used as a pre-test, midpoint check, and/or an end of the lesson check.
