O'Clock and Half Past
Objectives:
Students will be able to:
- show various time on a paper clock.

Initiating:
Have students show different times on the paper clocks. Let students take turns showing the class their clock.
Structuring:
"We've
been talking about telling time for several days now." (Review minute
and hour hands.) "We can read a clock and tell somebody what it says,
but we need to know how to write it!"
Conceptualizing:
- Talk about hour and then minute
- "How many minutes have gone by at the o'clock? Lets count."
- Write hour on the board then show the colon and say, "This is how we show that no time has pased."
- Do several examples
- Talk about "half past"
- "How many minutes have gone by? Let's count."
- How can we show that thirty minutes have gone by?" (Let the students suggest an answer.)
- Show students method for writing
- Do several examples
(Students should follow through on their own clocks for conceptualizing.)
Summarizing:
Quckly review. "How do we write time? (Wait for response) What goes first?... What goes after the colon?"
Generalizing:
Have students come up and write times on the board. (Brag time.)
Applying:
Students complete clock identifying sheet. (Students receive a 'certificate' of practice to take home.)
Plan of Assessment:
- Initiating activity
- Structuring review and discussion.
- Discussion in conceptualizing and summarizing.
