I have used the time flowers with my individual students. Use the template to include past and to, half past, quarter to and quarter past as well as 24 hour time telling. Often the students have found completing the template themselves a useful learning activity.
PAPER PLATE CLOCKS
Making their own individual paper plate clocks is another way for students to practice their time telling. The example below is one created by student G. As you can see, G has added and adapted the clock to support her understanding.
Do you notice the hook ⤦ on the hour hand? It was added to help G when to determined what the hour was. For example, the clock was set to 3:50 and G was asked to say what the time was. She used the hook to avoid confusing the hours between 3 and 4. In the photo, G can clearly see that the hour is 11 rather than 12.
Another way, to support students with identifying the hour is to make a hook with a pipe cleaner and add it to a wall clock.
