Grade 2 Math TEKS 2.9G:Time

Learning Target: I can read a digital clock and write the time in words. I can determine what happens in the a.m. and the p.m.

Focuses On:

• Reading time on digital clocks
• Determining if a time is in the a.m. or p.m.

Builds On:

1.7E

Tell time to the hour and half hour using analog and digital clocks

Next Level:

3.7C

Determine the solutions to problems involving addition and subtraction of time intervals in minutes using pictorial models or tools such as a 15-minute event plus a 30-minute events equals 45 minutes

This lesson is designed to support student understanding of reading time on digital clocks and determining if the time is in the a.m. or p.m.4

The two instructional blocks in this lesson focus on reading, saying and writing the time on digital clocks and determining if a time is a.m. or p.m.

In the first instructional block, students read, say and write the time displayed on digital clocks.

The second instructional block focuses on breaking apart a 24 hour day into two equal groups of 12 hours, a.m. and p.m. Students use clues about the time of day like if it is day or night to determine if a time is a.m. or p.m.

Scaffolds and supports such as real-life examples of activities that occur throughout the day are intentionally built throughout the lesson to support conceptual learning.  

Learning Target: I can read time to the nearest minute on an analog clock.

Focuses On:

• Reading time using the hour hand on analog clocks
• Reading and writing time using the hour and minute hands on analog clocks

This lesson is designed to support student understanding of reading and writing time using analog clocks.

The two instructional blocks in this lesson focus on reading time using the hour hand on analog clocks and reading and writing time using the hour and minute hands on analog clocks.

In the first instructional block, students use the hour hand on analog clocks to read the the time.

The second instructional block focuses on also using the minute hand to read and write the time displayed on an analog clock.

Scaffolds and supports such as color coding the minute hand are intentionally built throughout the lesson to support conceptual learning.
