In this ARTSEDGE lesson, students practice how to tell time on an analog clock. Students will pantomime activities that they do in a typical day and the class will guess at what time the student does a particular activity, noting whether the activity is taking place in the AM or PM.
Students will:
- tell and record time on an analog clock using five-minute intervals;
- be able to demonstrate and apply concepts of measurement;
- interpret how time on an analog clock relates to daily activities; and
- create a book that uses analog time to help relate a story.
ARTSEDGE provides detailed instructions for completing the lesson, suggestions for assessment and extension activities, and links to related web resources, student guides and an assessment rubric.
