Lesson Plan Format

Name: Kelli Attales Grade Level: 1st

Date: 4/4/17 Group Size: small group

Subject/Lesson Topic: Math- analog clock to digital clock

Objectives: (TLW:) The learner will be able to read an analog clock

and write it in digital format.

Standards/GLEs:
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.MD.B.3
Tell and write time in hours and half-hours using analog and digital
clocks.

Contextual Factors: Rollins Place Elementary in Zachary Louisiana-

first grade classroom with both white, African American, and Asian
students. These children all operate at different levels, it was very
important to differentiate the lesson to three different levels making
sure that each group learns the concept at their own level. This
classroom also has tons of resources so it was good to take advantage
of that within planning. The children are also very used to working in
partners in math centers and enjoy this. During this lesson there were
2 groups, six kids each, with 3 boys and 3 girls partnered off. Ages
range from 7-8.

Teacher Materials/Resources: large analog clock, digital clock

template

Student Materials/Resources: dry erase marker and digital clock

template and small analog clock

Technology Integration: none

Family/Community Connection or Extension: Clocks are easy

learning to do at home. Constantly ask your child what time it is on a
variety of clocks.

Pre-Assessment: The teacher already has students group from high,

medium, and low math level learners. The lessons are differentiated for
each group. This is the fourth day of the telling time unit so children
are familiar with both types of clocks and all have equal prior
knowledge.

Lesson Procedure and Activities: (the format will depend on the

type of lesson such as ELA or science)
 Introduction: Begin by showing students the analog clock and
having them tell you what time it says for a variety of times on the
hour and half our mark. After the students all answer about 5
correctly. Move on to writing digital times on the board and asking
them to announce the time to you.

Activities: The pass out the dry erase markers and the digital
clock template. Remind students that left of the two dots in hour
and right of the two dots is minute. Use your analog clock to display
a time and have the students quietly write the time on their digital
clock template. Walk around and help students that you notice
have the wrong answer. Do this multiple times until you notice all
students have the hang of it.

Closure: Review with the students how to read the analog clock
and how to read the digital clock. Then have the students do one
challenge problem where you write a digital time and they use
their small analog clocks to show the correct time.

Differentiation: Students on the higher level should do this activity

without teacaher example. Instead the teacher should say a time aloud
and the students 1) write the time in digital form and 2) make their
mini analog clock show the time.
The middle level should complete this lesson as written.
The lower level should spend MORE time on the introduction portion.
The teacher should give these students extra exposure to examples of
written digital and analog clocks.

Formative Assessment/Evaluation: a checklist to determine if

students can write digital and display analog.
