The pre unit assessment demonstrated that most students in this math class did
not have a complete understanding of telling and manipulating time. Although
students had learned some of these concepts in second grade, four students
were not able to tell time to the minute. These students were unsure which
hand pointed to the hour and which hand pointed to the minute. Three students
did not know what the numbers on the clock represented. Some students
remembered that there were 60 minutes in one hour; however, others struggled
with the questions that tested for this prior knowledge. More than half of the
students were able to add and subtract time without regrouping. The
assessment guided students to combine hours with hours and minutes with
minutes. Half of the twelve students were able to utilize prior knowledge to
successfully complete elapsed time word problems.. The twelve third graders
in this math group demonstrate a wide range of prior knowledge and strengths
and weakness.es. While students A and B were able to complete the entire
assessment correctly, other students seemed to have no experience with
concepts of time. The data showed students struggling with basic time
concepts therefore I could not begin teaching this unit with elapsed time. It
was essential that I spent time reviewing all previously learned time concepts.
We needed to begin instruction with the basic parts of the clock and continue
with telling and writing time to the nearest minute.







This graph shows the scores of each individual student. While students A and
B were successful at all concepts on the Pre Assessment, others lacked prior
knowledge to complete many of the questions.


The graph above demonstrates the distribution of scores on the Pre
Assessment. 50 % (6 students) of the students scored a 59% or below. 17 % (2
students) of the students scored between 60% and 69% 8% (1 student) of the
students scored between 70% and 79%. 8% (1 student) of the students scored
