Lesson details
Key learning points
- The minute hand moves around the full circle in one hour
- The minute hand shows how many minutes past the hour it is
- Between the hours on the clock face the scale also shows 5 minutes
Common misconception
When representing the time, pupils do not always remember that both the minute and the hour hand have a role to play when showing any given time - often leaving the hour hand in the o'clock position.
Lots of examples and non-examples are shown in Cycle 2 of the slide deck to tackle this misconception. However, practice makes perfect. Give frequent quickfire opportunities outside of the Maths lesson for pupils to show times on mini clocks.
Keywords
