Build students' confidence in telling the time with four engaging Tarsia puzzles that provide hands-on practice matching digital times to written forms.
Practice Telling Time to the Quarter Hour, Half Hour, and Hour With a Tarsia Puzzle!
Our fun and engaging Quarter Hour, Half Hour, and Hour Tarsia Puzzles will help practice telling time. These puzzles are made up on 10 pieces, with different times (digital form and word form) on each piece.
To complete the activity, encourage students to cut apart all of the tarsia puzzle pieces. Students will then look to match corresponding times (ex. half past 8 and 8:30). Students will glue the pieces together in the correct order on a separate piece of paper.
Through this activity, students will show that they can match word and digital forms each time.
