Understand place value

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.NBT.B.2

Understand that the two digits of a two-digit number represent amounts of tens and ones. Understand the following as special cases:

1. 10 can be thought of as a bundle of 10 ones – called a “ten”

2. The numbers from 11 to 19 are composed of a ten and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine ones.

3. The numbers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 refer to one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine tens (and 0 ones)

Use place value understanding and properties of operations to add and subtract

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.NBT.C.5

Given a two-digit number, mentally find 10 more or 10 less than the number, without having to count; explain the reasoning used.

To activate prior knowledge, begin by discussing activities that might take about a minute (like tying your shoes, washing your hands) and activities that might take about an hour (cleaning your room, going to the grocery store).  This will get the students to begin to understand the concept of time.  To reinforce this concept, during the day discuss which of your normal activities take about an hour or half an hour.  For example: specials may take about half an hour, and math may take an hour.

Telling Time: How to Tell Time on Digital and Analog Clocks

Recommended by Bridges in Mathematics, this "Humorous text explains the concept of time, from seconds to hours on both analog and digital clocks, from years to millennia on the calendar"

Student Misconceptions: It is important to eliminate possible misconceptions by clearly explaining to students the characteristics of an analog clock and what exactly it is. It is essential for students to understand these basic concepts before progressing to telling and writing time.

Before having students practice telling time on their own, it is essential to first model it and practice as a class. This can be done using various slide shows and examples, such as the image shown above.

This is another tool recommended by Bridges in Mathematics that could assist in modeling and practicing as a class. It is a large representation of a clock in which the hour and minute hands can be moved to represent the time of your choosing. It is easy to display on a smart board and would be simple to incorporate into instruction or a large group discussion.

Provided by Bridges in Mathematics additional resources, these 8 interactive games teach kids how to tell and write time in an engaging way. Kids learn best when they stay engaged enough with a skill to practice it repeatedly. Telling time games and apps offer lots of variety, as well as practice, for all skill levels.

The games and apps are great for demonstrations, math learning centers, or for helping you child to master telling time at home. Children get immediate feedback to tell them when their answers are right or wrong, which allows for self assessment.
