Our next focus in math will be understanding the passage of time, and telling time on both digital and analog clocks. This often proves a difficult task for grade one students, so any support at home is greatly appreciated! You can help support your child by:
- discussing important times of their daily schedule ( what time do you leave the house? what time is their favourite television show? what time do they go to bed? )
- referring to an analog or digital clock at these important times to see what it looks likes
- asking your child to show you a certain time on the paper clocks that we will be making ( I will send them home at the end of the week after we have used them in class )
Below is a link to an online game that we have played on our Smartboard as a warm-up activity. It is straightforward and only asks students to tell time on the hour and half past the hour, which we will focus on before moving on to quarter past / quarter to increments. Enjoy!
What time is it?
