Grade 2 Math · World 7: Clocktown Market · Level 59
Time to 5 Minutes
Read and write times like 3:25 on analog and digital clocks.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 59
- To read a clock, start with the hour. The short hand has passed the 3, but not the 4, so it's 3-something.
- Then count the minutes by 5s, from the 12 to the minute hand: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25. It's 3:25!
- Careful at 2:50! The hour hand is almost at 3, but it hasn't reached it. It's still 2-something.
- Your turn! Show 8:45 on the clock.
- Digital clocks show the hour, a colon, then the minutes. When it's 5 minutes past, it says 6:05 with a zero.
Georgia's K-12 Mathematics Standards:
- 2.MDR.6.1 — Tell and write time from analog and digital clocks to the nearest five minutes, and estimate and measure elapsed time using a timeline, to the hour or half hour on the hour or half hour.
