Planning and Activities
Day 1 Teaching
Show 8 o’clock on an analogue cloak. Count around the clock in hours, showing o’clock times.
Further Teaching with Y2
Display analogue and digital clocks. Show half hour times on both. Then introduce quarter hour times on both clocks.
Use the in-depth problem-solving investigation ‘Time Line’ from NRICH as today’s group activity.
Or, use these activities:
Y1 -- Play ‘What’s the time Mr. Wolf?’ using clocks.
Y2 -- Read and write equivalent times on analogue and digital clocks or play Time Bingo.
Day 2 Teaching
Give each child a circular piece of paper, folded into quarters. Match this to the clock face and demonstrate quarter past and quarter to.
Further Teaching with Y1
Use the same folded circles to reinforce half past the hour times. Match to clock faces.
Y1 -- Tell and make o’clock and half past times.
Y2 -- Read and write times to the quarter hour.
