Telling Time

This week we transitioned from learning about money to learning about time.  We reviewed telling time to the hour and half hour (they covered this in 1st grade).  In order to make it fun we used a few different "props!" I first used the pool noodle to explain that it is just a number line of 1-12.  We then bent the number line to make a circle.  This represents the hours of a clock face.  I have the hours written on notes with the minutes represented underneath, but we will not add the minutes to our lesson until tomorrow.

 

We then used the students themselves to represent the hands of a clock.  Julia is one of our shorter students so she became our willing hour hand and then Dylan being a little taller became our minute hand!
