Procedure:

Introduction (5 minutes) Begin the lesson by asking the students if they know what time is and why it’s important. Discuss with them how time helps us organize our day and how it is used in everyday life.

Learning about the Units of Time (10 minutes) Introduce the three basic units of time: seconds, minutes, and hours.

Use visual aids such as a clock face or a timeline to demonstrate the concept of time measurement.

Telling Time on Analog and Digital Clocks (20 minutes) Demonstrate how to tell time on an analog clock and a digital clock. Show the students how to read the hour hand and minute hand on an analog clock, and how to read the digital display on a digital clock. Give them practice exercises on worksheets.

Practice Exercises (10 minutes) Have the students practice telling time to the nearest hour on analog and digital clocks. Provide feedback and guidance as needed.

Relating Time to Everyday Activities (10 minutes) Discuss with the students how time is used in everyday activities, such as waking up in the morning, going to school, eating meals, and going to bed at night. Help them understand how time is important for scheduling and time management.

Conclusion (5 minutes) Wrap up the lesson by reviewing the concepts learned and giving the students an opportunity to ask questions.

Assessment: Assessment can be done informally by observing the students’ participation in class, checking their worksheets and giving feedback, and asking them questions to test their understanding.
