Math Lesson Plan (Time)
Math Lesson Plan (Time)
Duration: 1 hour
Prior Knowledge :
Students should already know:
1. Tell and write time to 1 minute.
2. Convert time in hours and minutes to minutes and vice versa.
Learning Outcomes:
By the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
1. Find the starting time and finishing time in minutes and hours.
2. Find the duration of a time interval in minutes and hours.
3. Solve word problems involving time in minutes and hours.
4. Work in teams to participate in an in class task.
Success Criteria:
By the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
1. Plot the correct starting time and ending time on the timeline in minutes and hours. (LO 1)
2. Add increments of elapsed time correctly to find duration. (LO 2)
3. Represent given information such as starting time, ending time and duration of an activity on a timeline. (LO 3)
4. Work forwards or backwards to find starting time and ending time in minutes and hours. (LO 3)
10 Readiness
mins 1. Teacher recaps with the students how to tell and write time to 1 minute. Teacher displays the time
of different countries on a digital clock. Students are required to show the time displayed using their
arms as the hour and minute hand.
LESSON PLAN
2. Then, teacher recaps with the students how to convert time in hours and minutes to minutes and
vice versa by asking students questions about the conversion of time. For example:
● how many minutes are there in an hour?
● how do you convert 150 minutes to hours?
3. Teacher tells the students that they will be learning how to find the time interval between the start
time and finish time by using a strategy.
4. Students work groups of 3 to 4 to participate in an in class task that requires them to:
● Identify the duration of time for each time slot according to their group number.
● Plan out 2 activities/games for each specific time slot. (One activity at a time)
● Calculate the duration for each activity for each time slot.
5. Teacher will facilitate and guide the students throughout the activity. Scaffolding will be provided if
needed. At the end of the activity, teacher will compile all the ideas and calculations, and provide
feedback to the students.
20 Mastery Worksheet
mins 1. Students work independently to complete a worksheet that requires them to solve word problems by
using the “Elapsed Time Mountain” strategy. Padlet Link: Click Here
3. At the end of the lesson, students reflect on the lesson by posting their reflections on the Padlet link
provided. They will be using the following questions as a guide to complete their reflection:
● What I have learnt in today’s lesson?
● What challenges did I face in the lesson?
● What do I want to know more about time?
