AusVELS sub-strand(s): Using units of measurement

AusVELS Dimension: Measurement and Geometry

Learning Standard(s)/Outcome(s)/Objective(s):
Foundation:
- Can order a sequence of events that occur in their average life.
- Can tell time to oclock.
Grade two and Grade one:
- Can tell the time to oclock and half past.
At the conclusion of this lesson, the students will know/understand that:
Foundation and Grade one:
-Students will know how to tell the time to oclock and half past.
Grade two:
-Students will know how to tell the time to quarter to and quarter past.
At the conclusion of this lesson, the students will demonstrate the skills/strategies of:
Foundation:
-Students will be able to tell the time to oclock.
Grade two and Grade one:
-Students will be able to tell the time to oclock and half past.

Assessment:
Observation
Conferences
Analysing of worksheets (formative assessment):
Listen for:
-Correct telling of time to oclock, half past, quarter to and quarter past.
Look for:
- Can correctly form oclock or/and half past times.
- Can correctly order sequence of events.
Assessment criteria for analysis:
Foundation:
- Can correctly form oclock times.
- Can correctly order sequence of events.
Grade two and Grade one:
- Can tell the time to oclock and half past.
Teaching focus:
- Manage behaviour efficiently by using statements rather than questions. For example, saying If you keep
behaving like this I will have to move you, instead of Do I have to move you?.

Background to the learning:

- Nelson Maths: student book two by Glenda Bradley, 2013.
Students current knowledge:
Foundation:
-Can identify the features of a clock.
-Can read oclock times
Grade one:
-Can identify the features of a clock.
-Can read oclock times.
Grade two:
-Can tell the time to oclock and half past.

Lesson resources:
Whiteboard, whiteboard marker, analogue clocks (made in previous lesson) analogue and digital clocks displaying
oclock, half past, quarter to and quarter past times and ordering sequence of events cards.

Lesson content:
A. Introduction 10 mins
Materials: whiteboard, whiteboard markers.
Whole class.
Counting: Counting forwards and backwards at any point to 120.
-Starting points could be (77, 98, 34 and 109).
Place value: Traffic lights
1. Draw a place value grid: Hundreds, Tens and Ones.
2. Have a student choose a number that the other students are to try and guess.
- A number written in red means the number is wrong; a number written in orange means right number wrong
place and a number written in green means right number right place.
3. The students are to keep guessing until they get the right number.
- Repeat three times.

B. Development 15-20 mins

Teaching strategies: scaffolding and cooperative learning.
Materials: Analogue clocks (made in previous lesson) and analogue and digital clocks displaying oclock, half
past, quarter to and quarter past times.
School day:
Ask students:
- What time do we begin the school day?
- What time do we finish the school day?
- What time is play?
- What time is lunch?
- What time do you get home?
- What time do you leave home to get to school?
Have students make oclock, half past, quarter to and quarter past using analogue clocks made in previous
lesson.
-Ask for volunteers to show and explain how they know they made the given time.
Time: Find your partner.
1. Give each student one of the digital or analogue clock cards.
2. Have each student find the student holding a card with the matching time.
- Challenge: Have students stand in order beginning with 12 oclock.
- Repeat twice.

C. Consolidation, practice, extension

Materials: Analogue and digital clocks displaying oclock, half past, quarter to and quarter past times and
ordering sequence of events cards.
Foundation: Ordering sequence of events that occur within a day and matching with corresponding oclock
times.
Grade one and grade two: Students are to complete a worksheet that ask them to write and draw the
analogue and digital time and write the time in words. (Worksheet: page 57 from Nelson Maths: student book
two by Glenda Bradley).
- Early finishers: To play memory in partners and snap in small groups using analogue and digital clocks
displaying oclock and half past times.

D. Closure
Reflection: 5-10 mins
Have the students sit in a circle and share what they learnt today.
Whats the time Mr Wolf?
