Lesson Plan : Telling Time As A Form Of Measurement
Teacher Name: | Mr. Sieka |
Grade: | Grade 5 |
Subject: | Math |
Topic: | Understanding time as a form of measurement |
Content: | Discuss the purpose of telling time and the different ways that it is expressed. Key vocabulary will be minutes, seconds, hours, half hour, counter clockwise and clockwise. |
Goals: | Have students understand how to tell time with a digital clock along with an analog clock. An to understand that we use time as a form of measurement. |
Objectives: | Students will have to construct a clock using a paper plate, oak tag and fasteners. They will use these clocks to express different times that will be given to them orally after the construction has been completed |
Materials: | clock, journals, dry erase board, dry erase makers, paper plates, fasteners, black oak tag(arrows), pencils |
Introduction: | Ask students, "why is it important to know how to tell time?" |
Development: | Using a clock show the students the different parts of the clock and what they are used for. Also show them how to count fowards and backwards on the clock. |
Practice: | Using a clock drawn on the dry erase board, ask students what time is on the clock. Have them assess early times and predict later times based on the questions I ask. |
Accommodations: | Students will be allowed to help each other in constructing the clocks. If they finish early there will be a worksheet to do. Other students will be given more time and put together to help one another. |
Checking For Understanding: | Students will be asked a series of times that they will have to represent with their clocks. They will then have to hold the clocks up to show their answer. |
Closure: | Explain that this is the beginning of a measurement unit and that time will be a part of this whole unit. |
Evaluation: | I will be able to determine which students are still having a difficult time with this concept. I will be able to make adjustments in my teaching strategies as the unit continues. |
Teacher Reflections: | The lesson is designed to make time more tangible for the students even though it is a pretty intangible concept. I know that their success is base on my ability to relay the information into context of which they can understand. |
