Maxwell-Week 9

My students have been given supplementary math problems dealing with time.  My MT and I thought that these worksheets would be a nice refresher for our students, however, few of our students were able to represent correct time on a clock or calculate passed time.  The students who attended the school last year unfortunately had several teachers come and go throughout the year, so we have been combining second and third grade standards in many of our lessons.  Many of our students believe there are one hundred minutes in an hour.  Additionally, very few students are able to read an analog clock. My teacher and I will be continuing this supplemental work throughout the month to help bridge understanding and improve time-telling strategies.  We have posted the minutes of the hour next to the corresponding numbers on the clock to help reinforce the idea that there are sixty minutes in an hour. Students were given "teaching" clocks to help determine the amount of time that has passed, and all worksheets must now be labeled with students name and time. This additional practice will help students gain confidence in reading an analog clock.
