Pre-Instruction Planning I need to have worksheet and supplies prepared. I also need to
make sure my classroom is set up to accommodate the games
that we will be playing.

Planning for Learners Differentiation: To incorporate differentiation I made sure to
include a lot of interactive/physical activities as well as a visual
aspect. It is also possible to switch some of these activities
around if need be so that the class runs smoothly. On top of my
verbal teaching of the lesson I am also showing a video that
explains the concept for those students who are more visual.

Modifications/Accommodations: I do not have any students in

this class that require modifications but if I did I would change
the requirement to be that the students’ needs to identify to the
hour and be able to tell me that seconds are the shortest unit of
time and days are the longest unit that we have learned so far.
Anna is a student in my classroom that needs accommodations.
She recently broke her right hand which is her dominate hand.
Therefore, writing is not possible for her. I will provide a
accommodated worksheet for part 4 that allows her to play a
matching game and just draw lines to the time and the clock.
She can draw lines with her left hand but writing numbers is not
possible. For our minute to win it activity she will always be
partnered up so that she is able to complete every activity. For
the pasta stringing activity I will have a modified activity or
Anna. I have a plastic tube that stands upright that she will filter
as many pasta noodles through within the minute that she can.
This allows her to play the same game but be on the same
playing field as the others while only using one hand. For the
cup stacking activity I will make sure that we are working in
 groups so that Anna is able to stack cups with assistance and
since everyone is doing the same thing she won’t be left out. I
will also make sure the setting of the classroom is easily
accessible and that the bathrooms are accommodating to Anna’s
needs. I will also be around to write her name and assist with
anything that requires the use of her dominant hand.

Lesson Presentation
Introduction I will start off the day by asking the students if they know what
time it is. I will then ask them to point out all the clocks that
they can find within the room as well as any item (such as a
phone) that can tell time. After this I will present the lesson with
telling the students that we will be learning about how to tell
time as well as what units of time are.
Sequence of activities 1. The first activity that we will begin with is a game that
including assessments will test the student’s ability to read an analog clock.
This is a pre-assessment activity because some students
may be able to do this while others may not know
anything about reading time. This is why they will be
placed in groups. I will first quickly review how the
clock hands rotate and how the short hand point to the
hour while the long hand points to the minute. After 5
minutes of this review, we will move on to the activity.
For this activity each table will have a laminated picture
of a specific time to the hour or the half hour on an
analog clock. The students will work together in groups
of 4 to figure out the time and write it with the dry erase
marker. The first table to complete it will win. We will
then pass the sheet to the next table so that all four tables
are able to see each sheet.
2. The second thing that we will do will be a more
instructive part of the lesson. I will do a show a 5-minute
video which is a fun way to grasp the student’s attention
and teach them the basics of the clock.

3. The second activity that we will move into is the
memory game. I will give each table a set of memory
cards that represent matching sets of analog clocks and
digital clocks. The students will have approximately 15
minutes to play this game and test their knowledge of
matching the analog clock and digital clock times.
4. I will then pass out a simple worksheet to see how the
students are grasping this information. This sheet will
have 10 different clocks and each students needs to
correctly mark 8 out of 10 of the clocks before we can
 move on.
5. After this is completed, I will take out the toy analog
clock that I have brought to class. As a class we will
discuss how many seconds are in a minute, minutes in an
hour, and hours in a day. I will move the hands on the
clock as I explain this concept. I will then take out my
book of poems called Marvelous Math and read the
students the poem that talks about this concept. We will
go through this poem having students repeat after me to
engrain this in their memories.
6. To end the lesson, we will now move onto an interactive
and physical part of the lesson to help those students who
learn best kinesthetically. We will play the game A
Minute to Win It. After asking the students if any of
them have seen this before we will move onto the
activity, and I will have the students work in groups and
separately at their table. There will be 4 activities that we
will do. These activities are: Jenga block tower (table
who build the tallest tower in a minute wins), pasta
stringing, dice balance, stack attack.

Lesson Wrap-up For the lesson wrap up will talk as class about what we learned
that day. I will ask a series of review questions and give a brief
look into what the next lesson will expand on.
