understanding clocks

Math

• The student has learned how to tell time using an analog clock, understanding the concept of hours, minutes, and the relationship between the two hands.
• They have practiced counting by 5s to determine the minutes on the clock and identifying the position of the hour and minute hands.
• They have learned the concept of AM and PM, understanding the division of the day into two 12-hour periods.

For continued development, encourage the student to create their own clock using simple craft materials to reinforce their understanding of the concepts. This could involve making a paper plate clock or using cardboard to create movable hands, providing hands-on experience with telling time.
