Description
How to Teach Telling Time to 5 Minutes
The What Time Is It to 5 Minutes Activity helps children read analog clocks to the nearest five minutes and match each clock to its digital time. Telling time to five minutes asks students to read the hour hand as it creeps toward the next number and to count the minute hand by fives. Second and third grade students practice both skills in a fast, friendly domino game.
How to Use the Activity
Start with the Count by 5s Clock: children count by fives around a big clock face and write the minutes in the twelve boxes. Then print and cut apart the twelve clock dominoes. Each domino shows a digital time on one half and an analog clock on the other half. Players read the clock on the end of the line, say the time out loud and add the domino that shows that digital time. The clock dominoes game keeps going until all twelve dominoes close one big circle. A second grade practice worksheet asks students to write the time on three clocks and draw the hands on three more, and answer keys make checking quick. Use the what time is it to 5 minutes activity in math centers, small groups or as a quick review before a test.
What’s Included
- A How to Use page with simple game steps
- 12 clock dominoes that form one closed circle
- A Count by 5s Clock warm-up page
- A 2nd grade practice worksheet: read the clock and draw the hands
- Answer keys for the domino circle, the Count by 5s Clock and the practice page
Why It Helps Kids
- Counting by fives around the clock connects skip counting to reading the minute hand.
- Matching each analog clock to a digital time builds fluency with both ways of showing time.
- The closed domino circle checks itself, so children know right away when a match is wrong.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Set a toy clock to the time on a domino and ask a partner to find the match. Time the class as it closes the circle and try to beat the record the next day. At home, ask children to read the kitchen clock to the nearest five minutes before dinner.
