Telling Time, Reading Clock Hands - Elementary Math Being able to tell and work with time is a very valuable skill. In order to tell time, there are several key points to remember. We measure time in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years. Parts of a Clock A clock is a device used to tell time. The blue numbers are standard on all clocks—these are clock numbers. Now, you can see that the orange numbers on the outside count from 1 to 60. Now, we’ll add in the hour and minute hands. Notice that our clock hands have arrows—some clocks have hands with arrows, and others do not. Reading a Clock Reading a clock takes practice, but after you learn how, it’s very easy to do! Here, you can see that the hour hand is a little more than half way between the 1 and the 2. Now let’s talk about the minute hand. Notice that the hour hand is between the 7 and the 8. So, in your mind, extend the minute hand all the way to the edge, and read how many more minutes it has passed. AM and PM Let’s practice this. Waking up {light|Light} {No|no} 1.

Tools for the Common Core Standards Phil Daro, Bill McCallum, Jason Zimba A Grecian urn You have just purchased an expensive Grecian urn and asked the dealer to ship it to your house. He picks up a hammer, shatters it into pieces, and explains that he will send one piece a day in an envelope for the next year. You object; he says “don’t worry, I’ll make sure that you get every single piece, and the markings are clear, so you’ll be able to glue them all back together. I’ve got it covered.” In the Common Core State Standards, individual statements of what students are expected to understand and be able to do are embedded within domain headings and cluster headings designed to convey the structure of the subject. Standards for a Grecian Urn The pieces are designed to fit together, and the standards document fits them together, presenting a coherent whole where the connections within grades and the flows of ideas across grades are as visible as the story depicted on the urn. Why is paying attention to the structure important?
