One Week Math Challenge: Learning to Tell Time

Getting Started with Telling Time is a beginner-level course designed to help students learn the basics of telling time. This class is full of lessons, consisting of 2-3 lessons per day, spread over the course of four days (Students have access to all material for 30 days after the last scheduled day of class, so if more time is needed this is not a problem as there is a lot of material in this course).  This class was originally a 4 week class, but I have condensed it to 1 week to give families the option to move at a faster pace.
    Students will receive hands-on instruction and practice in a fun and engaging environment, helping them to develop the skills they need to read and understand time on a clock. Each daily session will cover a different aspect of telling time, building on what students have learned in previous weeks. Topics will include: Understanding the hour hand and minute hand on a clock, identifying hours on a clock and matching them to times of day, reading time to the nearest hour and half hour, understanding the concept of a minute and reading time to the nearest 5 minute
     Each day you will receive a handout that needs to be printed prior to class, so that they class can be interactive and beneficial to learning. Your child will also need a small whiteboard and a whiteboard marker for class practice. Each video is teacher created and I am available to answer questions via email where your child can send a video of their work or send a snapshot. It is their choice on how much or how little interaction they would prefer.
