Lesson Plan Clocks

This lesson plan is for a 2nd grade class on telling time to the half hour. The teacher will have students recognize the difference between hour and minute hands on an analog clock. Students will learn to tell time to the half hour and locate times like o'clock and half past. Formative assessments include having students demonstrate times using their clocks and completing worksheets. The lesson involves explaining half hours, counting by fives, and giving students practice problems to reinforce the concepts.

II. Before you start


Identify prerequisite
knowledge and skills.

How to skip count by fives, a basic idea of what a half is.


Pre-assessment (for learning):

I will give students a pre-quiz by showing them a picture of a clock and asking what time is it? I will
also ask students what the world half means and have them demonstrate the meaning by folding paper.

Formative (for learning):

I will ask students to demonstrate what 3:30, 5:00, 2:30 looks like using their own clocks.
Formative (as learning):

Students will do two work sheets dealing with telling time to the hour and half-hour.

prompts.

showing.
I will ask the students to guess what time the clock
is showing.
Students will share why they think keeping time is
important.
I will then ask the students why they think keeping
and telling time is important.
First I will ask the students to look at their clocks
and tell me what they notice about the hands (They
are different sizes) I will tell them that the little
hand is called the hour hand and the big hand is
called the minute hand.

Development
(the largest
component or
main body of
the lesson)

Next I will ask the students if they know how many


minutes make up an hour (60). I will talk about
how the clock is organized into five-minute
sections. I will have the students count by fives all
the way around the clock. (We do this because it
would take a long time to count by ones all the way
to 60) I will show the students how when I move
the minute hand all the way around the clock the
hour hand moves to the next number.

Students will observe their own clocks and share


things they notice with the whole class.
Students will count by fives all around the clock.

Next, I will ask students what half is. I will show


them a piece of paper and demonstrate half by
folding the paper in half. I will explain to the
students that when the minute hand is on the six the
hour is divided in half. This is called half past. I
will show this on my big clock by pointing out that
the hour hand is half way between two hours when
the large hand is on the six.

Closure
(conclusion,
culmination,
wrap-up)

Finally, I will give students some practice problems


to do on their personal clocks. I will check their
answers and if they are correct they can go to their
desk to work on the clock hand out.

Do the practice problems on their own personal


clocks.
Once they have the correct answer students will get
up and pick up a clock work sheet from the
welcome table and then complete the work sheet.

Your reflection about the lesson, including evidence(s) of student learning and engagement, as well as ideas for improvement
for next time. (Write this after teaching the lesson, if you had a chance to teach it. If you did not teach this lesson, focus on the
process of preparing the lesson.)
