Talking Time

Students learn the different ways that people talk about time. They will read different descriptions of time—for example 5:15, 15 after 5, or a quarter after 5—and try to set a clock to that time. Teachers will see which time formats are easier or harder for students and discuss the different ways that people talk about time! This activity has been added to our new K-5 Collection!
