Florida B.E.S.T. Standards for Mathematics

Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students read clock faces and match them to written digital times. They use the hour and minute hands to distinguish exact hours from times thirty minutes later.
What Mastery Looks Like: A student correctly reads and records times such as 4:00 and 4:30 in both clock forms. They place the minute hand at 12 or 6 and position the hour hand correctly.
Common Misconceptions: Students may confuse the hour and minute hands or think the numeral 6 means six minutes. They may place the hour hand directly on a numeral at :30 instead of halfway toward the next hour.
How to Assess It: Exit ticket: Show analog clocks at 8:00 and 2:30. Students write each digital time, then draw hands for 6:30 on a blank clock.

Lesson moves

Students use geared teaching clocks to build 3:00, 5:30, and 9:30, then compare where each hand points.
Display 7:00 and 7:30, then ask students to explain what changed and what stayed the same.
Play a memory game by matching analog clock cards with digital time cards showing hours and half-hours.
Students make a morning schedule with pictures and clocks for waking up, eating breakfast, leaving home, and starting school.
