Lesson 9
La hora al minuto más cercano
Lesson Purpose
The purpose of this lesson is for students to tell and write time to the nearest minute.
Lesson Narrative
In previous grades, students learned to tell and write time from analog and digital clocks to the nearest five minutes, and to use a.m. and p.m. In this lesson, students build on this work to understand that they can tell time to the nearest minute, using the marks between the numbers that show the 5-minute increments. They also draw hands on a clock to show a given time. As students represent time on the clock and tell time to the minute, they may be off by 1 or 2 minutes. This level of precision is sufficient for the work of this lesson.
