What time is it Mrs. Wolf???



LUNCH TIME!!! Ok, not quite, but it is time to really shine and show how brilliant each of you are! For the past week, we have been working on estimating and measuring time on the analogue clock. Use this online game as a review to test how well you are able to measure a specified time on the analogue clock, but there is a catch! I hope none of you just sighed! There is always a catch. This activity is timed since you are supposed to BEAT THE CLOCK! Don't worry though. You can select the level of each game and there is always a help button handy.

Get crackin' and
BEAT THE CLOCK!

Phew!! I am so glad you were able to beat that clock! Now take your chances on some more tasks. On the first task, you will need to examine two analogue clocks and select which time is greater than or less than the other. Are you ready for the challenge? If so, take the test!


Want some more work? Take your knowledge to a new level and tell the difference between analogue clocks. Want to take it up a notch?




PARENTS' CORNER: As a part of our grade five math unit on Measurement, the students have been practicing their ability to tell time to the nearest second on the analogue clock. As described in ministry guidelines, by the end of grade five students will, "estimate, measure and represent time intervals to the nearest second." This is to be done on the analogue clock. The "Beat the Clock" game is a great resource easily accessible on the TVO website. There is ample information provided for parents on how to support and encourage your child as he or she participates in the game. Once again, thank you for your support.
