Do You Need More Analog Time Practice?

I teach first grade and the workbooks provided have only 2-3 practice pages with only a couple examples on each page for teaching time! What? That is not nearly enough curriculum to teach this concept! It is fine for introducing the concept of time, but my firsties need lots of practice and then a fun element too!

To help my firsties understand this concept, I usually create an anchor chart on the rug to introduce the lesson.  Anchor charts are too big to include in a resource, so the next best thing is a poster!

Posters are great too, or you can copy the posters in your own style on that large anchor chart!

After I teach the concept, I have to model the concept in whole group on the smart board.  I can do this with a worksheet.  I know, I know!  Worksheets are so, well... Yawn!  But the fact is, many state tests are worksheet oriented.  And if my little guys don't get that practice, they will not be confident!

There are plenty pages of practice! Make it a game and have races to finish!  You can add the fun element to any worksheet to make it more engaging!   Here is a glance at one of the pages!

Put these in a center and follow up with a game! This game is great for 2-3 students.  You will need linking cubes, or other small objects for keeping place.  You will also need a die! And go! First to the end wins!

Do you want more?  Here is a link for more practice!  These are two resources bundled in one to save!
