Learning about Time!

Our Measurement Expectations:

Grade 3

- read time using analogue clocks, to the nearest five minutes, and using digital clocks (e.g., 1:23 means twenty-three minutes after one o’clock), and represent time in 12-hour notation;

 

Grade 4

- estimate, measure (i.e., using an analogue clock), and represent time intervals to the nearest minute;

- estimate and determine elapsed time, with and without using a time line, given the durations of events expressed in five-minute intervals, hours, days, weeks, months, or years (Sample problem: If you wake up at 7:30 a.m., and it takes you 10 minutes to eat your breakfast, 5 minutes to brush your teeth, 25 minutes to wash and get dressed, 5 minutes to get your backpack ready, and 20 minutes to get to school, will you be at school by 9:00 a.m.?); 

Students problem solve elapsed time. 

Problem: We start math at 11:05 and finish at 12:20. How much time was spent on math?

Baking Cookies

I finally uploaded these pictures off my camera... sorry for the wait! Back in December our class was learning about procedural texts such as recipes. The students were given the recipe and supplies and were asked to follow the instructions step by step. Good news... we only had one egg casualty and ALL the cookies tasted yummy! The kids had so much fun too.

Data Management Unit

The students created questions and surveyed the class. They recorded the answers on a tally chart and then used the data to create a bar graph including a title, labels and a scale. They then presented their graphs to the class and explained what they learned.
