Time

Part of our next math unit involves telling time.  Learning how to tell time is challenging for children.  The common core requires children in second grade to be able to tell and write time to the nearest five minutes from both an analog and digital clock .   I am always on the lookout for helpful strategies to teach children how to remember the difference between the minute hand and the hour hand.  I found this idea on a blog through Pinterest.  I think it will be helpful!

Students are also expected to know the relationships of time, including seconds in a minute, minutes in an hour, days in a week/month/year, and weeks in a month and year!   

Until next time...
