Time Again

Time

Students will practice telling time to the nearest minute and

learn about elapsed time.

We have worked on telling time to the nearest 5 minutes. This unit focuses on telling time to the nearest minute. It also focuses on elapsed time.

Elapsed Time-The difference between two times, the amount of time that has passed.

Students will also be introduced to many types of clocks, for example:

Sundial

Hourglass

Greek Water Clock, Chinese Water Clock, and Shadow Clock

Practice: Work with your child on time, every day. When they ask what time something is and how much longer it is, help them in figuring up the elapsed time. Use an analog clock in helping your child figure up time to the nearest minute.
