Lesson 7: Telling the Time to the Quarter Hour (2)
Telling the Time Unit Plan - Year 1 and Year 2 | Lesson 7 | 60 minutes
A 60 minute lesson in which students will tell the time to the quarter hour on analogue clocks.
Preparation
Equipment
- Hula hoop
Lesson Plan
This lesson contains a link to an external video. Please watch the video prior to presenting this lesson to ensure that the content is appropriate for your students.
Tuning In
- To revise content from the previous lesson, watch the Quarter Past and Quarter To video on YouTube. After watching, ask the students:
- What do we call the blue hand on the clock?
- What do we call the red hand on the clock?
- How far around the clock does the minute hand travel to make the time ‘a quarter past’ the hour?
Teacher Instruction
- Using the hula hoop analogue clock on the board, add in only the 12, 3, 6 and 9. Revise times involving o’clock, a quarter past, half past and a quarter to.
- Using the clock, explain to the students that whenever the minute hand has passed the 6, it is no longer minutes past the hour; it is minutes until the next hour. Display and discuss examples of this on the hula hoop clock.
Guided/Independent Learning
- Play the Telling the Time Bingo – Hour, Half-Hour, Quarter To and Quarter Past. Once the students have had an opportunity to look for the time called out on their bingo card, show them where the hands should be on the hula hoop clock.
- Write twelve times up on the board (o’clock, half past, quarter to and quarter past times). Provide the students with a copy of the Blank Digital and Analogue Clock Worksheet. Monitor and support the students as they independently complete the worksheet.
Wrapping Up
- Ask the students to show different o’clock, half past, quarter to and quarter past times using their own analogue clocks made earlier in the unit.
Differentiation
Extending Students
- Give more capable students times involving five minute intervals to show on their worksheets.
Supporting Students
- Give less confident students a list of o'clock and half past times to make on their analogue clocks.
