Year 1 Mathematics Lesson Plan: Comparing Units of Measure and Telling Time

Lesson Duration: 90 minutes

Learning Objectives

By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:

1. Understand and compare different units of measure.
2. Recognise and describe how time passes in different contexts.
3. Tell time using o'clock language.

Introduction (15 minutes)

1. Engage Students

• Start with a discussion about time. Ask students:
  • What is time?
  • Why is it important?
• Show them a large clock and explain the basics of the hour and minute hands.

2. Introduce Measuring Units

• Discuss different units of measure: grams, kilograms, litres, and millilitres.
• Show real-life examples: a 1-litre bottle, a 1-kilogram bag of flour, etc.

Direct Instruction (30 minutes)

1. Comparing Units of Measure (15 minutes)

• Activity 1: Measuring Objects
  • Provide a variety of containers and weights.
  • Let students use scales and measuring cups.
  • Ask students to compare which container holds more and which weighs more.

2. Understanding Time (15 minutes)

• Activity 2: Time Discussion
  • Discuss different ways we measure time during a day (e.g., morning, evening).
  • Explain concepts of hours and halves of an hour.
  • Introduce the analog clock and its parts (face, numbers, hands).

Guided Practice (20 minutes)

1. Telling Time Using O'Clock Language (20 minutes)

• Activity 3: Time-Telling Practice
  • Use the classroom clock to show different times.
  • Students will take turns showing a specific time on mini clocks provided.
  • Engage in a group activity where students draw clock faces showing different o'clock times.

---

Independent Practice (15 minutes)

1. Worksheets (15 minutes)

• Hand out a worksheet that includes:
  • Comparing objects using different measurements.
  • Telling time questions where they need to draw the correct time on a clock face.

---

Conclusion (10 minutes)

1. Review Key Concepts

• Recap what students learned about:
  • Units of measure and their comparisons.
  • How time is measured and the importance of telling time.

2. Q&A Session

• Allow students to ask questions or clarify any doubts regarding the lesson.

Homework Assignment

1. Measurement Comparison

• Find two objects at home; one heavy and one light. Write down their measurements (e.g., weight in grams/kilograms) and compare them.

2. Telling Time

• Draw two different clocks showing the following times:
  • 3 o'clock
  • 7 o'clock

Correct Answers

Homework Task Correct Answers:

1. (Student's own objects with their weight measurements)
2. Clocks should have:
   • 3 o'clock: Hour hand pointing at 3, minute hand at 12.
   • 7 o'clock: Hour hand pointing at 7, minute hand at 12.

---

Assessment

• Monitor participation during activities.
• Review homework for understanding of concepts covered in class.
