1 - Getting Started ~3 mins
Think about your day. What o'clock time do you go to bed?
Today we match the clock to moments in our day. We use o'clock times only.
2 - Watch and Notice ~7 mins
Look at both hands on each clock.
The long hand points straight up to 12. The short hand points to the hour number.
Be ready to say the o'clock time and the moment it matches.
3 - Try It Together ~9 mins
We set the clock for one moment at a time.
One friend sets the hands. Everyone else watches the board and says if it matches.
Long hand on 12. Short hand on the hour.
Set the o'clock for the moment
4 - Write Your Bedtime in Your Copy ~2 mins
In your maths copy, write: I go to bed at ___ o'clock.
Fill the gap with your own bedtime hour.
5 - Class Challenge ~8 mins
Set the clock for these moments: school starts at 9 o'clock, little break at 11 o'clock, home time at 3 o'clock, and bedtime at 7 o'clock.
One friend sets both hands, then checks. Everyone else watches and confirms.
Match the clock to the moment
