Step by Step Math Telling Time teaches your child/students how to tell time by going in order around the clock Offering "step by step" instruction and lots of varied and interesting practice this book will guide students to mastery of both digital and analog clocks. While a cut out clock is included you are highly encouraged to provide each child/student with a geared clock so that the movement of the hour hand can be observed as the minute hand is rotated. Wirebound. 128 pages. Reproducible. A Note from the AuthorWhen I taught first grade most math books taught time to the hour then the half hour then a quarter after a quarter to and then all the other times. My students who were accustomed to digital clocks were confused as the minute hand seemed to jump all around the clock and the hour hand apparently moved randomly in the space between numbers.After several years of difficulty and frustration I decided to teach telling time in order around the clock. I made sure everyone could count by fives easily. We started with the hour then five after etc. By the time we were at twenty after most students had caught on and could tell almost any time. The biggest problem was a time such as 855 where the hour hand was almost on the nine. I explained that in five minutes it would be 900 but since it wasn't 900 yet it had to still be eight something.Hopefully the order and logical progression of the pages in this book will make learning to tell time very easy for those you are teaching.SincerelyAngela AnkersStep by Step Math Telling Time teaches your child/students how to tell time by going in order around the clock Offering "step by step" instruction and lots of varied practice this book will guide mastery of both digital and analog clocks.
