Overview

In this activity from The Electric Company, students will practice reading analog and digital clocks. Included are simple teacher-led activities for students.

Mathematics (2019) Grade(s): 1

MA19.1.19

Tell and write time to the hours and half hours using analog and digital clocks.

Unpacked Content

UP:MA19.1.3

Vocabulary

  • Commutative property of addition
  • Associative property of addition
  • Identity property of zero for addition

Knowledge

Students know:
  • addition and subtraction strategies.
  • how to form an equation.
    • li>how the commutative property works.

Skills

Students are able to:
  • Strategically apply properties of addition in order to find sums.

Understanding

Students understand that:
  • the order in which addends are joined doesn't change the sum.
  • numbers may be composed or decomposed in a variety of ways.
Mathematics (2019) Grade(s): 2

MA19.2.23

Tell and write time from analog and digital clocks to the nearest five minutes, using a.m. and p.m.

Unpacked Content

UP:MA19.2.23

Vocabulary

  • Analog
  • Digital

Knowledge

Students know:
  • how tell and write time to the nearest 5 minutes using analog and digital clocks.
  • how to explain the difference between a.m. and p.m.

Skills

Students are able to:
  • accurately read and write time to the nearest five minutes from analog and digital clocks.

Understanding

Students understand that:
  • analog and digital clocks represent the time at any particular moment.
  • clocks show the passage of time with the movement of the hands or the changing of the digits.
  • time is an attribute that can be measured.
Mathematics (2019) Grade(s): 3

MA19.3.18

Tell and write time to the nearest minute; measure time intervals in minutes (within 90 minutes.)

Unpacked Content

UP:MA19.3.18

Vocabulary

  • Minute
  • Time interval
  • Number line diagram
  • Analog
  • Digital
  • Elapsed time
  • Half-hour
  • Quarter-hour

Knowledge

Students know:
  • Conventions for time notation.
  • Time sequence patterns.
  • Strategies to determine elapsed time.

Skills

Students are able to:
  • Accurately read and write time to the nearest minute from analog and digital clocks.
  • Measure time intervals in minutes.
  • Illustrate elapsed time using a number line.
  • Solve problems involving elapsed time in minutes (with 90 minutes) or hours.

Understanding

Students understand that:
  • An analog clock is a whole partitioned into 60 parts and each part is one minute.
  • A number line can be partitioned to show time intervals in minutes.
  • A number line can be used to solve word problems that involve time intervals.
