Learning Objective 1.8 The student will tell time to the half-hour, using analog and
digital clocks.
Activity This learning activity will give first grade students the opportunity
to create a timeline of their day over the course of two days/class
periods. The SOL standard listed above will be broken into two
parts/days. Day 1 will focus on digital clocks as students use

to create their timelines. The teacher will collect these timelines
from the printer and save them for the following day. On day 2, the
students will demonstrate their knowledge of analog clocks after
receiving their timelines along with 9 analog clocks to draw the
time and paste on the timeline accordingly. Breaking this activity up
Pedagogy

into 2 days allows time for the teacher to review and clear up any
misunderstandings at the beginning of the math period.

Technology The technology being used allows students to generate free
