Task Cards- Telling Time

This file contains 12 clock task cards. All cards have pictures of analog clocks. Students will tell what time is shown on each clock. To use these cards at a Math Learning Center Place all of the cards on a table in the classroom. Small groups of 3 to 5 students can visit the table and solve the problems on the task cards. They can complete them in any order they'd like. You can have them do as many, or as few, problems as you choose. Click HERE to access this center activity.

There are four levels of difficulty. Click HERE to play this interactive time game.

Telling Time

This short video teaches first graders how to tell time to the half hour. It also teaches how to write the time they see on an analog clock. Students are exposed to both digital and analog clocks to learn the concepts of telling time to the half hour in this adorable lesson. This provides a valuable tool to either introduce or review a practical skill. Click HERE to view this video

Math Clock by The Math Learning CenterMath Clock helps students become fluent working with time. Learners use analog clocks with geared or free-moving hands to learn how to tell time, explore jumps with count by numbers, and visualize story problems involving intervals of time. By placing and shading fraction overlays, students use the clock to contextualize fractions with frequently used denominators.

Manipulative Clocks

These movable clocks help the students become more fluent working with time. The learners use these free movable clocks to learn how to tell time and much more.
