Applied Math Level 2

Time is the measured or measurable period during which an action, process, or condition exists or continues, it can also be duration. 

Here are 12 engaging hands-on activities to teach Telling Time, focusing on Hours, Half Hours, and Clock Hands, along with materials for each activity:

     • Clock flashcards.

     • Sorting trays.

2. Even Hour Bingo
   
   

   • Activity: Create bingo cards with even-hour times. Call out times, and participants mark the correct ones.

   • Materials:

     • Bingo cards.

     • Markers.

Minute Hand Continued

1. Minute Hand Matching
   
   

   • Activity: Provide clock faces with missing minute hands. Participants place the correct minute hand based on the given time.

   • Materials:

     • Clock templates.

     • Cut-out minute hands.

2. Real-Life Minute Hand Practice
   
   

   • Activity: Participants identify key times in their daily routine and set the minute hand accordingly.

   • Materials:

     • Blank clock templates.

     • Markers.
