Teaching Table
Set out your lesson
Recall hour/day relationships and apply them to simple elapsed-time quantities.
Count in tens to sixty and add two equal quantities; distinguish a whole day from daylight hours.
Directed source edges are preserved, not assumed completed. If the readiness probe is difficult, model with support and record supported practice instead of independent evidence.
Use the supplied stage-specific structured materials. Plain paper and pencil; screen viewing is optional.
Show, guided, put teaching sheet aside, then task sheets in order; adult keys remain private.
No printing or cutting is required unless explicitly choosing a physical construction. Exact paper alternatives are in each material; adaptations change the evidence mode as stated.
Materials are ready in each step. Use them on screen or print just the current step. Put teaching examples aside before the learner tries.
What this lesson covers and its limits
These are bounded opportunities, not learner attainment. Partial and blocked source requirements remain so.
- partial: Know the number of minutes in an hour and the number of hours in a day
Hour/day facts and simple conversions only; clock reading and real elapsed-time observation not assessed. This is a bounded task opportunity, not established attainment or automatic use across contexts.
- partial: State that there are 60 minutes in an hour
Mapped task(s) offer this clause only within the supplied examples. Hour/day facts and simple conversions only; clock reading and real elapsed-time observation not assessed. No attainment or automatic/general performance is claimed.
- partial: State that there are 24 hours in a day
Mapped task(s) offer this clause only within the supplied examples. Hour/day facts and simple conversions only; clock reading and real elapsed-time observation not assessed. No attainment or automatic/general performance is claimed.
- partial: Use these facts to solve simple time problems
Mapped task(s) offer this clause only within the supplied examples. Hour/day facts and simple conversions only; clock reading and real elapsed-time observation not assessed. No attainment or automatic/general performance is claimed.
- partial: If {{name}} knows there are 60 minutes in an hour, can they tell you how many minutes are in 2 hours — and how many hours make a whole day?
