Suggested Grades

1-3

Objective

Students will practice the skill of telling time through examining, collecting, and sorting photographs of watches from catalogues.

Materials

• catalogues with photographs of watches
• large pieces of paper
• writing utensils
• glue
• scissors

Method

• Ask students to look through the catalogues and cut out as many photos of watches as they can (give them about 10 minutes).
• After this time, collect the catalogues and hand out the large pieces of paper.
• Ask students to sort their watch photos by putting them into groups of watches displaying the same time.
• Before allowing the students to glue these on the paper, check to see if the photos in each group of time are the same.
• Ask students to glue their photos keeping them in the groups.
• Then, have students write down the time represented under each group.
• Display the collections. What time was displayed the most? The least? Why could this be so?
