Twelve clocks set to any minute, like 4:37 or 9:52, with all 60 minute tick marks drawn. The Common Core standards ask 3rd graders to tell and write time to the nearest minute.
The strategy is count by fives, then by ones: for 4:37, count 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 to the 7, then two more ticks. Watch the hour hand, too: at 9:52 it's very close to 10. When reading is solid, try drawing the hands or elapsed time.
Tips for using it
- Count by 5s to the last number the minute hand passed, then count ones.
- Check the hour hand: close to the next number means late in the hour.
