Telling Time

Telling Time

This was a fun hands on group activity to help students understand that there are five minutes intervals in each partition of the analog clock. The children were given unifix cubes and told that they had to separate them into groups of 5 and arrange them into a circle until they had a total of 60 unifix cubes. Next, they used post it notes to write the 5 minutes intervals in red. Later they wrote the hour intervals on post it notes in green. Later, they came up with fun tools to use as the hands and asked their friends to tell the time or to set the hands on the time they gave.  Living Clocks!
