Hi!
I have been working on time, elapsed time, and adding and
subtracting of time for a while now. Teaching third grade and others, we get stuck with several different levels of where students are when
telling time. We can go from the basics of counting the clock by 5’s to adding
and subtracting time easily. I have created a product that can help scaffold
telling time and more, a little easier.
There are four differentiated sections in this product for
telling time. Each section is scaffolded or differentiated into varying levels
of difficulty. When I first used this product, I copied each section and as a class we scaffolded to the more difficult levels together.
The first part of this product includes the basics of telling time
with quarter of the hour, five minutes, and to the minute. This section increases
with difficulty.
The second section is for beginning elapsed time while using a
number line. In this section, students will have to be able to tell time
(decipher the beginning and end time) and then be able to show how much time
has elapsed using a number line.
The third section is adding and subtracting time when given the
amount of elapsed time. Students will also use a number line to figure out each
time measurement as well.
The fourth and final section, looks at elapsed time a little
differently. Students have to complete charts to discover the missing time variable.
Overall, I felt my students really did well with this approach. I
was able to go back and use the different differentiation levels with the
appropriate math group for reteach if necessary. This lesson also provided a challenge for those needing an extension. Finally, each section also provides a quiz.
Enjoy!
