Elapsed Time: Level 1

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.MD.A.1
            Tell and write time to the nearest minute and measure time intervals in minutes. Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of time intervals in minutes, e.g., by representing the problem on a number line diagram.
                                                                                                   
- Learners will identify time on a clock to the nearest 5 minutes. 
- Learners will solve elapsed time problems by identifying the start and ends times on clocks and adding by 5s to calculate the time passed. 
- Learners will solve real-world elapsed time word problems using addition 
- Learners will practice elapsed time through the use of analog clocks and number line diagrams 

This class will be teacher-directed as the material is introduced. 

Class work will shift to student-centered as the lesson shifts to hand on practice problems. 

As the teacher, I will be there to support learners as they work through solving each problem. I will ask students to explain their thought process with each problem solved. My goal is for learners to be able to explain their thinking. This prompts learners to reflect on their process, use content specific vocabulary, engage in academic conversations, learn new strategies from others, and internalize the skill such that they could teach it to someone else.  
     
A knowledge of how to tell time is an important pre-requisite for this class. If you are looking for a course, you can sign your child up for my class, "Telling Time to 5 Minutes" before enrolling them in this class.
