Lesson Plan - Time

Date: Wednesday February 21,2018 Curriculum Areas: Mathematics

Grade Level: 1/2

Expectations (from curriculum documents/ you can also include expectations for social development)
Grade 1: Read demonstration digital and analogue clocks, and use them to identify benchmark times (e.g.,
times for breakfast, lunch, dinner) and to tell and write time to the hour and half hour in everyday settings

Grade 2: Tell and write time to the quarter-hour, using demonstration digital and analogue clocks

Success Criteria (what you expect students to say, write or do by the end of the lesson to confirm that they have or are in the process
of achieving the lesson expectations)

- Students are able to put the numbers in the correct order on an analogue clock
- Students correctly put the big hand on the minute and the little on the hour
- Students are able to correctly identify what time they displayed on their clock
- Students are able to write a sentence describing what their favorite time is and why

Recording Devices (how you will Grouping Strategies: Student Grouping Process:
collect the evidence of the assessment (how you will group students)
criteria)  Small Groups
 Whole Class
 Observation/Anecdotals
 Rubric
 Pairs
 Checklist  Individual

Assessment Strategies ( what you

will invite the students to do to demonstrate Accommodations Modifications (changes to expectations
their learning) (instructional changes) according to IEP)
 Work Buddy
 presentations  Increase time/amount - Numbers on clock
- Hour hand glued on
 individual Conferences  Decrease time/amount - Word bank (numbers, and
 demonstrations  Mini-lessons words to go with time)
 tests  Conferences - Support worker
 graphic organizers  Study Plan
 self-assessment  Extensions
 peer assessment  Scribe
 discussion  Modify choices
 graphic organizers
 Sharing thinking on paper

Materials: (Student Materials ,Teacher Resources)

Multiple Intelligences: - Picture book
- Hoola hoops
 Bodily Kinesthetic - Whiteboard markers
 Verbal/Linguistic - Clocks, numbers and arrows
 Logical/mathematical - Sample analogue clock
 Musical - Pencils, crayons, glue
 Visual/spatial
 Interpersonal
Classroom Management Notes:

Time Minds ON (Beginning/Mental Set) (what will you do to get the students interested, Thinking about Resources
the concepts?) (Input, Modeling, Check for Understanding, Guided or Independent Activity, Sharing Success Criteria)
Hickory,
35 dickory,
min.
Read picture book, Hickory, Dickory, Dock, and have students think about common dock book
themes throughout the book and discuss at the end of the book. by Robin
Muller and
- It is about time Suzanne
Duranceau
- Each page goes up one number/one hour
- Analogue clocks illustrated

Discussion with students:

- What is time? (when things happen AND how long things take)
- Why is time important? (Know when to be somewhere, what time to eat,
when it is day and night, meet up with people/have a play date, know what
day/month/year it is)
- Time in chunks – seconds, minutes, hours, day, month, years…
- What do we use to tell time? (analogue clocks, digital clock, calendar) –
today we will focus on analogue clocks

Analogue clocks (focus on exact hours):

- What do you notice is on the clock?
o 2 arrows (short and long)
o numbers
o arranged in a circle
- little hand = hour
- big hand = minute - big hand on 12 = exact hour
- use sample clock to demonstrate various times

Activity: Hoola Hoops on white board

- 2 hoola hoops on the whiteboard
- draw on numbers with students and then have 2 at a time come up and
demonstrate various times (exact hours)
- big hand on the 12 and little hand on the number given (ex. 7 if 7o’clock)
 WORKING ON IT (Middle/Enabling Activity) (Students complete activity) (Input,
Modeling, Check for Understanding, Guided or Independent Activity)

40 After students practiced on the whiteboard drawing on the big and little hands
mins.
have them on the carpet and explain the activity.

Activity: What is your favorite time?

- Students will be given a circle, a big and little hand, and the numbers to cut
out
- Students will complete the analogue clock by gluing on the numbers in the
correct spot
- Students will then glue on the hands to display their favorite time (Ex. My
favorite time is 9:00am (am means morning, pm means afternoon) because
I get to see everybody at school.)
- Students will also be given a piece of paper to write the sentence “My
favorite time is______ because _______.”
- Grade 1’s will have 12, 3, 6, 9 put onto their clock to assist them, grade 2’s
will not
- Students can decorate their clocks with crayons

CONSOLIDATION/REFLECTING/CONNECTING/CLOSURE (sharing/summarizing the learning)

35
min. Once completed students will come back to the carpet with their clocks and can
share their clocks and what their favorite time is with the class.
