Telling Time to the Hour, Half Hour, Quarter Hour, and Five Minutes

Telling Time to the Hour, Half Hour, Quarter Hour, and Five Minutes

If you teach second grade, chances are that you are already teaching (or you are about to start teaching) the topic of time in your math segments.  More specifically, you will be working on telling time to the hour, half hour, quarter hour, and five minutes using both an analog clock and a digital clock.

Telling time was one of my favorite subjects to teach.  In fact, I tried to spend just a few minutes telling time each and every day with my daily math spiral.  This small little five minutes of instruction always helped make it so much easier for my students to grasp everything when we got to our big unit.

This unit of telling time to the hour, half hour, quarter hour, and five minutes includes everything you need to teach time in your classroom.

As you can see, I have tried to include everything you will need for this unit.

• lesson plans 
• anchor charts
• essential questions
• vocabulary
• assessments
• games (centers, small groups, or partners)
• activities (with differentiation)
• craftivity (making watches)
• student posters 
• answer guides
• links for websites
