How to Use This Pack

Two pages that go over the whole unit on telling time, to do together the day before the test. Its 12 questions take every lesson of the unit in the same kinds of question as the test, with other times, so nothing on the review is on the test. The last four (time to the minute, how much time passed, the end time, and the time facts) are for the states that teach them. There is no Score line: it is practice, not a grade. The pre-check and the unit test are packs of their own.

In the Classroom

Do the review together the day before the test, with a clock with hands in reach. Work a question, then let students try the next one on their own, and stop on any that trip up more than a few. Have students read the short hand first, then count the long hand by 5s. The keys name each question's lesson, so a question the class misses points to the lesson to go back to.

At Home

Use the review as practice before a test at school. Ask your child to point to the short hand first and say the hour, then count the long hand by 5s.

Tips for Success

  • Have students read the short hand first: it tells the hour
  • Count the minutes by 5s round the clock, starting at the 12
  • Near the end of an hour the short hand is close to the next number, but it is still the same hour
  • A clock with gears, where the short hand moves as the long hand turns, helps students check their drawings
  • Go back to the lesson the key names for a question the class misses
