Unit 7, Lesson 14
La mitad del reloj
Grado 1
Preparation
Lesson Narrative
In a previous lesson, students learned how to tell and write the time in hours. In a previous section, students partitioned shapes into two equal pieces and identified each piece as “a half of” the shape.
In this lesson, students learn about the position of the hands on an analog clock at half past the hour. They analyze how the hands on the clock move as time goes from one hour to the next. They describe the time as “half past” the hour when the hour hand is halfway between two numbers and the minute hand is pointing at the 6. They create new clock cards that show half past the hour and add the minute hand to the clocks.
