Overview

In this activity, students will practice reading analog and digital clocks and practice using a.m. and p.m. when writing time. Included are simple teacher-led activities and hands-on exercises for students.

    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.

    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.
