Instructional
Strategies and Plan (include strategies used to help different types of
learners, i.e. auditory, visual, etc):
1. Read story The Long Wait by Annie Cobb or choose one
of the other books listed.

E. What fraction names 15
minutes? (1/4 hour)
F. What are the two dividing times

indicate which
3. Calendar Activity
Use classroom monthly calendar - ask questions such as …
A. Your vacation starts on August
26. The vacation lasts 8 days. On what day does your vacation end? (September 2)
B. How many days are there from the 8th
to the 21st? (13 days)
C. If today is Monday, October 6,
what day and date would it be one week and two days later? (Wednesday, October
15)
D. Place a counter on the current
calendar date and another counter on a date 10 days from this. How can you find out how much time has
elapsed between these two days?

Classwork Whole Class Activity
·
Students
work in teams of two. Each child has a
Judy clock. Student A sets his/her clock
at a given starting time. Student B sets
his/her clock to a given ending time.
·
Class
discussion on elapsed time.
·
Teacher
uses the classroom’s daily schedule to practice examples of elapsed time.
·
Teacher models additional examples
followed by student participation.
Instruction
Continue using clocks to set
starting and ending times. Then begin to
demonstrate elapsed time on a T chart.
T chart example:
|
Hour |
Minute |
|
|
+10 |
|
+1 |
+20 |
|
1 hour |
30 minutes |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Start Time Ending Time
+ 10 min.
+ 1 hour
Do numerous examples on overhead
and at children’s seats.
Students will continue to work
with partners – use clocks and T chart to complete worksheet together for
additional practice.
Suggestion: Have students use blue
pencil to show the hour hand and a red pencil to show the minute hand. Could also, use blue and red when completing
the T charts. (see worksheet 1)
Materials/Resources:
Individual student Judy clocks
Teacher Judy Clock (one or two)
Pre-made “I Have, Who Has?” game
Worksheet
Paper and pencil
Red and Blue
colored pencils or crayons
Classroom monthly calendar
Additional Worksheet as needed

#5 Male – This student has been sick very
often. Because of this, his attendance
at school has been erratic. He loves to
experiment with things, however. At
home, he is busy performing all kinds of experiments with household items. His
school work has also been poor. It is
unclear whether this is because of his attendance or a difficulty acquiring
school related information.
·
Accommodations
to use with this student:
· Make up worksheets he has missed
and do fewer of the problems.
· Use peer tutors
· Use technology that he cold use at
home http://www.oswego.org/testprep/math4/d/elapsedp.cfm
· Send home literature based book
and have him illustrate a math problem from the book.
