Welcome to the Time Travel Adventure!

Introduction

Hello, Young Mathematicians!
Today, we are going to embark on an exciting journey through time! Get ready to put on your imaginary time travel hats because we are going to explore the fascinating world of clocks and time-telling.

The Magical Time Machine

Setting the Scene

Imagine if you had a magical time machine that could take you anywhere in time. Where would you go? To a roaring dinosaur age? Perhaps to see the moon landing? Or maybe back to the time of kings and queens?

Fun Hook Activity

To kick off our lesson, let's start with a short story! Gather around and close your eyes.

Picture this:
You step into a shiny, bright time machine. The dial on the machine has numbers just like a clock. You spin the dial, and suddenly, you hear a soft ticking sound. You’ve landed in one special place at a special time!

Discussion Prompt

• Questions for You:
  • What time do you think it is when you arrive?
  • What do you see and hear around you?
  • How can we figure out what time it is?

Transition to Learning About Time

After our imaginative journey, we will take a closer look at the clocks we see every day. When we travel through time, it’s important to know how to tell time on a clock!

Objectives

By the end of this adventure, you will be able to:

• Understand the basics of telling time on an analogue clock.
• Identify the hour and minute hands.
• Know how to read and say the time in both hours and half-hours.
