Subject
PA Core: Mathematics

Grade Levels
3rd Grade

Related Academic Standards

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Standards and Anchors
CC.2.4.3.A.2 Tell and write time to the nearest minute and solve problems by calculating time intervals.
M03.D-M.1.1.1 Tell, show, and/or write time (analog) to the nearest minute.

Big Ideas
Concepts
Competencies

This purpose of this lesson is to provide enrichment for students who have an initial knowledge and background in telling time to the minute on both a digital and
analog clock. *** This lesson is a follow-up to the lesson Concentration 1. It should be completed after the students have created the Concentration 1 cards. This
lesson can also be completed alone if the teacher completed the time cards and copied them his/herself.

Vocabulary
Digital Clock: a clock or watch that shows the time using numbers, not hands
Analog Clock: a clock that displays the time using the position of hands on a dial

Objectives

The students will correctly tell time to the minute on both an analog and digital clock.

Lesson Essential Question(s)

How precise do measurements and calculations need to be?
What does it mean to estimate or analyze numerical quantities?
When is it is appropriate to estimate versus calculate?
1. Why is knowing how to tell time on both digital and analog clocks important?

2. How can I tell time using both digital and analog clock faces?

Duration
This lesson will take approximately one 40 minute period.

Materials
Concentration Cards (These can either be used from the lesson Concentration 2 or teacher can fill in times he/she wishes before lesson and copy.)
Large Clock for Teacher Modeling
Dry erase boards and markers/erasers

Suggested Instructional Strategies

Active Engagement , Modeling , Dierentiated Learning , Kinesthetic/Tactile , Auditory
Instructional Practice: Active Participation, Independent Practice, Hands-On Activity, Tactile Learning, Auditory Learning
Webbs Depth of Knowledge: Skill/Concept, Strategic Thinking, Extended Thinking
W: WHERE/WHY/WHAT
This lesson is most appropriate for students who have initial knowledge in telling time to the minute and are in need of enrichment of the skill.
H: HOOK
This lesson will provide students with enrichment in telling time to the minute. The lesson will allow the students to practice the skill using a hands-on tactile learning
activity. It will allow both students who need manipulatives and students needing an auditory lesson, a chance to excel.
E: EXPLORE/EXPERIENCE/EQUIP
Students will be using real-life scenarios to correctly write times on digital and analog clocks. Students will be creating their own set of clocks.
R: RETHINK/REHEARSE/REVISE/REFINE
Students will be working independently to match times on both digital and analog clocks. Teacher will be closely monitoring the class checking for errors as the
students match the selected times. Students will have the opportunity to correct themselves as the game moves forward.
E: EVALUATE
Students will be informally assessed during activity via teacher observation. Students will be formally assessed via the worksheet after activity completion.
T: TAILORED
This lesson is tailored to a third grade student who has acquired basic knowledge of telling time to the minute on both digital and analog clocks.
O: ORGANIZED
Activity is review/enrichment lesson. The lesson is organized into introduction, guided instruction, modeling, independent work and assessment.

Instructional Procedures
1. Teacher read the students a scenario. Ex:
Sally woke up for school at 7:45. Please show the time she woke up on my large clock.
Teacher will call up a student to show the time on the clock. Teacher will then call on another
student to write the time in digital form on board.

1. Teacher will then have the students take out their dry erase boards and markers. The teacher will put a time on her large clock and then ask the students
to write it in digital form on their boards. Teacher will circulate and informally assess via observation. Teacher will assist struggling students. This will be
repeated with new times as many times as teacher deems necessary.

1. If Concentration Lesson 1 was completed, teacher will ask the students to take out the Concentration Cards they made. If it was not completed, teacher
will pass out teacher-made Concentration Cards.

1. Teacher will put students in groups of three. (Students can actually be in groups from 2-4 if needed.) Teacher will explain to the class the students will be
playing Time Concentration.

1. Teacher will explain the game to the students. Cards will be spread out upside-down on the desk. Each student will take turns turning over two cards. If
they get two matching cards (a clock showing the same time digitally and on an analog clock), they keep the pair. Whoever has the most matching sets
when all cards have been used, wins.

1. After all games are completed, students will complete the Time Assessment.
