Lesson Plan Rebecca Smith MSTI 131

• The face, or the front of the clock, shows 12 hours.

• The 12 hours on the clock represent the 24 hours in a day.

• The numbers range from 1 to 12 and the hands rotate clockwise.

• Each dash represents a minute, so each large number is represented by 5 minutes. • For example, on the clock the number 1 represents 5 minutes, the number 2 represents 10 minutes, the number 3 represents 15 minutes, and so on.

The Hour Hand • The hour hand is the shorter of the two hands.

• It is also called the “little hand” • The hour hand counts the larger numbers on the clock.

• This number is always read before the minute hand.

The Minute Hand • The minute hand is the longer of the two hands.

• It is also known as the “big hand” • The minute hand counts the smaller dashes on a clock.

• This number is always read after the hour number has been read.

Hour Hand vs. Minute Hand • The word hour is shorter than the word minute. The hour hand is also shorter than the minute hand.

• The hour hand is always read before the minute hand.

• The smaller number always goes first. The hour hand is smaller as well as the number it is reading.

Different ways to Tell the Time: Using Quarters • A clock is divided in to four different parts.

• They are divided by 0, 15, 30, 45 minute marks.

• There are three different ways to substitute the time into words using, quarter past, quarter to, and half past.

Quarter past…

• When the number of minutes is less than 30, instead of saying all the minutes after the hour, it can be substituted with the words quarter past.

• Quarter past 2 is the same as 2:15.

• Quarter past 7 is the same as 7:15.

• Quarter past 11 is the same as 11:15.

Quarter to…

• When the number of minutes becomes greater than 30, you can subtract the time from the upcoming hour substituting the words quarter to.

• Quarter to 2 is the same as 1:45.

• Quarter to 5 is the same as 4:45.

• Quarter to 9 is the same as 8:45.

Half past…

• When the minute hand reaches the 6 on the bottom of the clock it means that 30 minutes has passed. • Since a clock only has 60 minutes, half of 60 would be 30.

• To say 30 minutes has passed, it is the same as saying half the time has passed in the hour, or it is half past the hour.

• Half past 3 is the same as 3:30.

• Half past 7 is the same as 7:30.

• Half past 12 is the same as 12:30.
