Telling Time! A.M. v.s. P.M. 2nd Grade Lesson Post #10
For my final post, I am going to continue talking about teaching time. As a teacher to elementary school students, it is very important for them to learn at a young age the difference between a.m. and p.m. They show two different parts of the day. I used ixl.com as my resource for this lesson. I unfortunately did not get to use the website when I taught time but I think it is excellent. When learning about a.m. and p.m. it is important for the students to read examples on how to differ the two. Here are some sample problems:
As you see, all of these examples are excellent in differing a.m. v.s. p.m for the students.
Reflecting back on this resource and lesson, I think it is very versatile. I especially like that by just clicking the blue sound icon, students can have the question read out to them.
The website and link I used is: https://www.ixl.com/math/grade-2/am-or-pm
New York State Next Generation Mathematics Learning Standards:
NY-2.MD: Work with time and money. Tell and write from analog and digital clocks in five minute increments, using a.m. and p.m. Develop an understanding of common terms, such as, but not limited to, quarter past, half past, and quarter to.

Victoria, I love this idea, thanks for sharing! This can be such a difficult concept for young students, and one that many teachers overlook. I also really like how this resource gives students the option to have the problem read aloud to them. This is so important to that struggling readers can still work through these problems.
ReplyDeleteHow interesting Victoria!
ReplyDeleteI would definitely use this game in my classroom, love how they give them hints of things that they are aware. Enhances their reading skills, comprehension skills, and problem solving as well. I can see myself using this resource with my son since he knows this numbers already, teaching him the difference about AM and PM would not be hard at all.
