In this lesson, students will use analog clocks hung in the classroom and digital clocks found through online research to tell time to the nearest minute in a variety of cities around the world. Students will begin to recognize that times are different across the world, particularly that the hour changes from city to city but the minutes stay the same (with only a few exceptions). This lesson is designed for use in the AIG (academically and intellectually gifted) classroom; students are pulled out of their regular classroom twice a week for enrichment instruction in their area of giftedness. This lesson was developed by Meredith Ewbank as part of their completion of the North Carolina Global Educator Digital Badge program. This lesson plan has been vetted at the local and state level for standards alignment, Global Education focus, and content accuracy.

A learning road map is a great way for students and teachers to keep track of standards they have mastered.  This road map is for grade 2 math cluster 3.  It can be printed and placed in a data notebook.  Students would then color in the circle to indicate their level of proficiency.  It could also be used digitally where students would fill in the circle with color.  Road Maps help students take ownership of their learning and help guide instruction for teachers.  This resource was developed as part of a professional learning opportunity funded by the NCDPI Digital Learning Initiative Planning Grant.

In this lesson, students construct a paper clock by partitioning a circle into halves and quarters, and tell time to the half hour or quarter hour.

In this lesson, students solve elapsed time problems involving whole hours and a half hour.

Students have the opportunity to explore the history of telling time and some historic clocks.  Then they will learn how to tell time using a Roman Numeral clock (students may encounter Roman Numeral clocks in real life).  This lesson was developed by NCDPI as part of the Academically and/or Intellectually Gifted Instructional Resources Project. This lesson plan has been vetted at the state level for standards alignment, AIG focus, and content accuracy.

This 2 unit of measurement lessons explores telling time through 2 hands-on activities and 5 worksheets.

This is the About the Cluster document written by the NC2ML group who created the instructional frameworks. This is a great resource to read while starting to plan for Second Grade Cluster 3.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach first graders an overview of telling time to quarter and hour.

This unit was created by the Rethink Education Content Development Team. This course is aligned to the NC Standards for 2nd Grade Math.

Students will label an analog clock to the nearest 5 minutes, represent time by drawing hands on the clock, and determine if the time of day is a.m. or p.m.

This file contains sample anchor charts to create with students. Anchor charts are to be made with students, then displayed as a classroom reference. Parents may also benefit from seeing anchor charts, as they provide a snapshot into the math class.

A Common Formative Assessment (CFA) provides a snapshot of current student understanding. It serves as a checkpoint, and may be used to guide future whole and small group instruction. This CFA addresses 2nd grade, Cluster 3 standards.

This resource is part of Tools4NCTeachers. The Family Letter is intended to be sent home at the beginning of Cluster 3. It explains big ideas of the cluster using family-friendly language. Families can also find tips for working with their children at home, digital games, videos, and books. This file contains both English and Spanish versions of the Cluster 3 Family Letter.

Math games are fun, motivating, and provide opportunities for students to build number concepts, reasoning, and fluency. These games may be used as math stations or as whole group learning opportunities. This file contains directions and materials for Cluster 3 math games.

The intended purpose of this document is to provide teachers with a tool to determine student understanding and suggest instructional moves that may help guide a student forward in their learning. It is not an exhaustive list of strategies.

This lesson uses the book The Grouchy Ladybug as a context for telling time.
