How do you teach reading a clock to the nearest five minutes?

Build on first-grade on-the-hour and half-hour knowledge. Teach students to skip count by 5s around the clock face (5, 10, 15, 20…60). Label the clock with the five-minute marks. Practice identifying quarter past and quarter to as benchmarks. Worksheets with both blank and labeled clock faces at various times build fluency at increasingly precise intervals.

How do you teach a.m. and p.m. to second graders?

Anchor a.m. and p.m. to familiar daily activities: breakfast is a.m., dinner is p.m. Teach the abbreviations: a.m. (ante meridiem = before noon) and p.m. (post meridiem = after noon), though the Latin origin is optional at this level. Worksheets that ask students to classify daily activities as a.m. or p.m. and match clock times to activities build understanding in context.

Frequently Asked Questions

Second graders should tell and write time from analog and digital clocks to the nearest five minutes using a.m. and p.m. (CCSS 2.MD.C.7). They should understand that there are 60 minutes in an hour and 24 hours in a day, and solve simple elapsed time problems (start at 2:00, it takes 30 minutes, what time is it now?).
