 Show pictures
of various times of day/night. Discuss/guess time of day from clues in
the pictures. (Re)introduce hours. A day has 24 hours, each hour has 60
minutes. Talk about different types of clocks and show (or have them draw/point
out) pictures. Discuss separate parts of the clock. Categorize into digital/analog.
(visual, naturalist, mathematical)
Show the students
the teaching clock. Count off the minutes while moving the minute hand,
first alone, then with the students. Have the students clap their hands
as each minute is counted off. Reinforce with the digital clock. Make reference
to the print numbers on the wall. (I've seen young students who believed
digital clocks had less minutes that analog clocks). (verbal,
body, musical, visual)
Group students
together and pass out Cuisenaire sticks in baggies. It's ok if some would
rather work alone. Assign each group (or all groups) a specific time and
have them show it using the Cuisenaire sticks. Ask them to explain it to
you and the class when they're done. (body, interpersonal,
intrapersonal, visual, mathematical)
Have students
draw a picture of two clocks, one digital, one analog, showing a specific
time in their journal along with 2-3 sentences of what they learned about
clocks/time in class that day. (intrapersonal, visual,
verbal, body, naturalist) |
