Matching Times

Lesson Plan:
Materials: Analog (with moving hands) and Digital Clock
Kidspriation Software and Matching Time Kidspiration File
Images for Customized Library
Writing materials

Objective:
Students will be able to match digital and analog times by using Kidspiration template.

Step One:
Show students an analog clock.
Have the students repeat analog and write the word.
Demonstrate to students how the hands move around the clock to indicate time.
Show students how the minute hand moves to indicate the minutes. (This lesson will show hours, ¼ hours, half hours, and ¾ hours)
Show the students how the hour hand displays the hour.

Step Two:
Show the students a digital clock.
Have the students repeat digital and write the word.
Have the students notice that the numbers are displayed on the clock.
Have students watch the clock for one minute to see the time change.
Point out to the students that the first number(s) indicate the hour and after the : the numbers indicate the minute.
Step Three:

Move to Kidspiration.
If the Kidspriation template is loaded on student computer, use the teacher computer first to show the worksheet.
If the Kidspriation template is loaded for an Interactive White Board, have the students come closer so they can move the items.
Read the instructions with the students.
Point out the analog clocks first and then show the digital clocks.
Show the example and have students tell the time together.

IF USING STUDENT COMPUTERS:
Have the students look at the digital times and move them to the rectangle space next to the analog time it matches.

If USING AN IWB:
Invite a student to come forward and tell the time on a clock FIRST.
Have the student define whether it is an analog or digital clock.
Have the student MOVE the digital clock to the rectangle next to the analog clock it matches.

This lesson can also be utilized as a center with one student (or small group) doing the worksheet independently.
