Lesson Narrative
In previous lessons, students wrote times based on analog clocks showing time in hours and half hours.
In this lesson, students continue to tell time with clocks, paying special attention to times when they may mix-up the minute and hour hands (for example, 12:30 and 6:00). Students also practice writing times and drawing the hands on the clock as they create their ideal Sunday schedule.
