Our math focus has moved to telling time! As you know, this is a life skill that would be hard to live without! Today, I asked the students why it is important to tell time. They came up with some great answers including not wanting to be late for appointments and knowing when to go to recess. In first grade, we focus on telling time to the hour and half hour. We talk about the differences in the hour and minute hands, the differences between an analog and digital clock, how to write the time, and how to use words like o'clock and half past.
Check out our Symbaloo for math games on practicing how to tell time! I encouraged my students to try and tell time sometime tonight. Please ask them to tell YOU the time! :)
