Lesson 132: Other Times

Directions

Have children draw times such as 12:07, 6:12, 3:23, etc. for both digital and analog clocks.

Teach children how clocks represent seconds, minutes, and hours.

Complete the steps below until children perfectly master the tasks.

Steps

STEP 1

Teach children how to calculate other times. For example, two marks past the 9 is (9x5+2 = 47) 47 minutes past the hour.

• Show children the clock images below in order and have them recite the times (e.g. Twenty minutes after six or six twenty etc.).

STEP 2

• Point to the clock images in a random order and have children determine and speak aloud the times.

STEP 3

• Have children draw clocks showing random times - 3:47, 2:02, 8:03, etc.
• Continue to work on this until children can draw any time on the clock.
