Teaching Table
Set out your lesson
Practise the bounded task in Telling time to the minute (age 7+); see exact limits before inferring broader coverage.
Knows hour and minute hands and counts in fives; the supplied hand descriptions are an accessible analogue model.
Exact directed source edges retained; earlier authorship is not learner attainment.
These supplied stage cards
Scrap paper and pencil; oral/pointing response where appropriate
Read readiness and decide on support without treating prerequisite authoring as learner readiness.
Open Show first and explain its model.
Use Guided Try with support and its separate adult key.
Close Show and guided keys before Try, unless this Try is explicitly supported.
Reflect on an actual attempt, including help used.
Use the supplied screen cards; copying the exact task to paper is optional, not required.
Use only invented scenarios and optional anonymous local notes. Do not request names, photos, family finances, medical data, accounts or uploads. Stop uncomfortable physical activity.

Use the complete materials on screen or print only the current sheet. Keep adult guidance out of learner view. Retain an earlier model only when the current step supplies it as context.
Teaching limits and safe use
These are finite task opportunities, not proof of mastery. Record what was attempted and what support was used.
Five-minute clock examples; not nearest-minute fluency. Supplied SVG clock supports visual reading; accompanying hand descriptions are an adapted nonvisual mode. Rendering and print acceptance remain untested.
Use only invented scenarios and optional anonymous local notes. Do not request names, photos, family finances, medical data, accounts or uploads. Stop uncomfortable physical activity.

Check understanding
- Read the time to five minutes on an analogue clock face
- Write the time using digital notation (e.g. 3:25)
- Distinguish between a.m. and p.m. and relate to daily events
“If a clock shows 6:45 a.m., can your child tell you what time that is in words — and write it in 24-hour notation?”
