Telling Time to Five Minutes Using an Analog Clock

Remember that when it is almost a new hour the hour hand may be close to the next hour, but we are still in the last hour!Hint Back to QuestionNice try, lets take one more look at the clock

Wrong HintCorrect! Nice Job!Right Given a quiz at the end of this lesson, students will be able to tell time on an analog clock with 80% accuracy. ObjectivesComputer station Analog clock simulationOne-on-one with aideFourth grade classroomLearning EnvironmentStandard 1- Number sense. Students will gain a sense of numbers by working with the clock and identifying each number as they work through the activity.Standard 2- Computation. Students will be able to add and subtract the numbers from the clock as we work through the scenario problems.Standard 5- Measurement. Students will learn how to tell time on a clock to the nearest five minutes.Standard 6- Problem Solving. Students will gain a sense of being able to approach a problem and explain their reasoning of solving it.StandardsBecause many big cities still use analog clocks on their courthouses, or other important landmarks, along with most wristwatches worn today, it is important to understand how to tell time using an analog clock.Introduction Hands Second HandMinute HandHour HandFaceStep 1Step 2 Step 3Quiz

What is an analog clock?

This part is moving around the clock at all times displaying how many seconds have passed each minute.Second HandBack to ReviewThis hand on the clock moves one hash mark foreword each time the second hand makes one rotation around the clock.Minute HandBack to ReviewThis hand moves to the next hour on the face of the clock every time the minute hand moves 60 times, or makes one rotation around the clock. Usually shorter than the minute hand!Hour HandBack to reviewThis displays large numbers which tell you the hour of time along with 60 hash marks that display what minute it is within the hour.FaceBack to ReviewWhich one is the minute hand?

123Option 1Option 2Option 3Now we are going to actually identify how to tell the time on the clock itself!Telling TimeThere is not always a second hand on every analog clock because time is not standardly told with seconds. So decide if there is a second hand on the clock so you dont confuse it with the minute hand.Step 1Back to ReviewLocate the minute hand on the clock. This is the hardest step but gets much easier after a few practice runs! Each hour labels five minutes on the face of the clock, so count each one until you locate the minute had counting by fives until you reach the minute hand. If it is between two numbers then count up to the nearest five the clock is at and count the hash marks individually until you locate the minute hand. Step 2Back to ReviewNow locate the shorter hour hand. If it is pointing directly at a number, then that is the current hour we are in. if it is between two numbers, then we are in the hour that the number just passed. Step 3Back to ReviewNow lets try and test our newly acquired time telling skills!ReviewWhat time is the clock displaying?
