Library of Virtual Manipulative Website that you can project for the students.
You can also have your students follow along on iPad or laptops.
Have your students make their own paper plate clock. If you use two paper
plates you can cut up the top one so they can fold down the hour digit and
see how many minutes it is. If you teach quarter to and quarter after you can

with times to show on the clock. Students can challenge each other to read
their clock and say the right time.
