Title: Measurement of Time
Grade Level: 3rd-Grade
Pre Planning
Big Idea(s): Develop clock/telling-time skills and building vocabulary.
Essential Questions:
Objective(s):
Summative Assessment:
Provide the students with (Telling Time) worksheet. Have them fill out the clocks with the correct time using both numerals and the minute/hour hand. Use this worksheet to test students’ skills as you develop them and to test mastery of their telling time skills.
Lesson Opening
Lesson Opening (The Hook):
The teacher will have students gather around the smartboard and play them a video lesson that will motivate and gain their interest. It is an educational math video called Telling the Time & Daily Routines from ESL Kids Lab.
Lesson Body
Explanation: The teacher will then have each student log in to a computer, put on a headset, and navigate to Telling the Time in English. This activity will serve to review concepts of the analog clock to reach mastery of the concept of telling time on an analog clock. The concept of counting up the next hour is introduced such as 25 minutes to 12. The mathematical vocabulary for telling time is introduced and is reinforced by the illustration on an analog clock. Terms included are o'clock, past, quarter to/past/after, and half.
Check for Understanding:
ESL GAMES Math Game For Kids- Telling The Time. This game is a memory game where the students will have to match clocks to the correct time description. This game will help build on the student's’ knowledge of the concepts.
Extended Practice:
The teacher will have students browse to Sentence Monkey, which is an ESL Grammar Sentence Activity. This fun activity will assist the students in getting more practice in learning how to tell time in english and will help students strengthen their english vocabulary.
Closing
Lesson Closing:
The teacher will hand out iPads to each student and have them open up Story Kit. This app will allow students to create an electronic storybook. They will be able to write text, record sounds, layout elements of their story using images and sound clips. For the closing project, students will produce a project that integrates the lesson’s concept on telling time. They will be assigned a task to create a personal storybook titled "The Time of My Life". The storybook will highlight their daily lives and activities using the time as a marker. Suggested activities are waking up, school start time, lunch time, school end time, dinner time as well as weekend schedules. They must use the sentence frames like I wake up at..., I eat breakfast at..., I arrive at school at...., We have lunch at..., School ends at...., and I got to bed at.
