In this lesson we will expand are knowlege on learning about clocks and telling time. We are going to create and interactive clock to help students visualize the imagninary numbers.

**Minute are in red and **hours are in blue**

Materials: crayons, markers, starter sheet, rulers, clock hands, brass tacks (can get from teacher) teacher example.

Day 3: Clock Games

Today we are going to practice what we have learned so far. I have set up several games around the room. Find your name on on the rotation chart on the room and get started.

Day 4: Telling Time part 2

Students today is pretty simple. You have a worksheet on the back table. Please take your time and complete! Find partner who is FINISHED and play clock games.

Day 5: Create your own schedule.

Today, we are going to create a schedule of what someone might do in typical day.

This schedule should include a time for waking up, eating, taking a shower, play time (relax), homework and bed time.

When completing your schedule you need to list the tasks that you would do in order. Also you need to list the times in a digital manner and in a analog manner.

My name is Brittany Saavedra. I create this webquest for my graduate class EDUC 541 Elementary Mathematics.

The tasks provided through this webquest offers students understanding of telling time. These tasks I have provided offer a deepr level of thinking becuase they offer hands on expirence from creating a clock, to reading time on differnt clocks and  creating a schedule from a students typical day.
