Clocks come in many different shapes and sizes. They are found everywhere. There are clocks in houses, on wrists, and even on the outside of buildings. Why is it important to be able to tell time?

Created by Gwendolyn Best Each number on a clock represents 5 minutes. Replacing the numbers with multiples of 5 will help you see why there are 60 minutes in an hour.

Let’s practice using an analog clock. Remember to count by 5’s for the minute hand. Consider this question: What observations can you make about telling time with an analog clock?

Let’s work together… “I Do” problem: Mike needs to know the time. The hour hand is between the 1 and 2. The minute hand is pointing to the Draw on the clock to show the time. 2. Write the time using numbers & symbols. 3. Use words to tell how you know the time.

Work with a Partner… “We Do” problem: Anne needs to know the time. The hour hand is just before the 8. Then minute hand is pointing to the Draw on the clock to show the time. 2. Write the time using numbers & symbols. 3. Use words to tell how you know the time.

On your own … “You Do” problem: Shelly needs to know the time. The hour hand is between the 7 and 8. Then minute hand is pointing to the Draw on the clock to show the time. 2. Write the time using numbers. 3. Use words to tell how you know the time.

Lesson Plan The Very Grouchy Lady Bug Second Grade, Common Core Learning Task Standard: Math – 2.MD.7 Tell and write time from analog and digital clocks to the nearest five minutes. Reading – RL.2.6 Acknowledge differences in points of view of characters, including by speaking in a different voice for each character when reading dialogue aloud. Student “I Can” Statements: I can tell time to the nearest 5 minutes. I can understand the difference between am & pm. I can retell a story using complete sentences, expression, and character voices to make the story interesting. Essential question: Why is it important to be able to tell time ? Assessing and advancing questions: What do you know about time? What have you learned about time? How do you know your answer is correct? Assessment: Can students… draw the hands on a clock to show a given time, write the time using numbers and symbols, describe how they determined the time Sequence of whole group, small group, & Independent work: 1.Brainstorm & create an anchor chart. What do you know about time? (5 mins) 2.Set the purpose by asking questions to introduce The Very Grouchy Ladybug (5 mins). 3.Read the story (5-10 mins). 4.Transition Time - Personal think time – What do you know about time, after reading The Very Grouchy Ladybug ? Shoulder partner discussions time. Whole group.- Make changes to the anchor chart. Add permanent writing. (3-6 mins). 5.Review slides 5-9, How are AM and PM different (3-7mins)? 6. Explore an analog clock with a partner Using flash cards and manipulative clocks (5-8 mins). Links to printable flash cards on resources page. 7.Time for Time Drill: Review power point and use manipulative clocks (10mins). 8.Close/End of the Day review – Using performance based assessments. This can be treated as an exit slip if used for formative assessment. (5-10 mins). 9.Cross Curriculum Connections: Readers’ Theater using illustrations and multimedia resources, slides (10-30 mins).
