🍎 Enjoy our growing library of math videos at www.numberock.com 🍎 Includes Lesson Plan and Materials Below: Telling Time Song for Kids Summary: Learn to tell time on different clocks in a variety of far away lands. After you watch this video, you’ll be able to tell the time on analog clocks to the nearest minute, and understand the difference between AM & PM. Also included is a review of skip counting by 5 which is vitally important when it comes down to learning to tell time down to the minute! Telling Time LYRICS Stretch out the hour hand. See where on the clock it lands. The last number it went by is the number five. Stretch out the minute hand. See where on the clock it lands. Each line equals one minute; so the time is five oh six. Every number the hour hand goes by represents one hour of time. Then count the minutes out of sixty, and you'll be telling time with me! Stretch out the hour hand. See where on the clock it lands. Nine’s the last number it went by; so the hour hand points to nine. Stretch out the minute hand. See where on the clock it lands. It’s pointing right at the five; so the time is nine-twenty-five. Every number the hour hand goes by represents one hour of time. Then count the minutes out of sixty, and you'll be telling time with me! Stretch out the hour hand. See where on the clock it lands. The hour hand last passed the "eight," so the hour of time is "eight." Stretch out the minute hand. See where on the clock it lands. It points to four, precisely, so the time is eight twenty. Every number the hour hand goes by represents one hour of time. Then count the minutes out of sixty, and you'll be telling time with me! The hour hand is shorter, always! It goes around twice each day. The first time 'round is "A.M." Second time it's called "P.M." A.M. starts at midnight’s moon and continues until noon. So we call noon twelve P.M., and it goes 'til twelve A.M. Every number the hour hand goes by represents one hour of time. Then count the minutes out of sixty, and you'll be telling time with me! We count five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five, thirty, thirty-five, forty, forty-five, fifty, fifty-five, sixty... minutes on each clock we see. This video addresses the following Common Core Standards: 2.MD.7: Tell and write time from analog and digital clocks to the nearest five minutes, using a.m. and p.m 3.MD.1: Tell and write time to the nearest minute and measure time intervals in minutes. www.NUMBEROCK.com is a provider of educational videos for kids which was founded by an innovative 5th Grade teacher who envisioned a new kind of classroom where students got energized for math class. Parents of his students even noticed their children singing mathematics songs around the dinner table well beyond school hours. Seeing his students so enthusiastic when it was time for math was welcome, to say the least! But the epiphanous moment was when students were singing math songs all-day long like they were in the American Top 40! We're curious to see how these musical math videos will be used now that we have shared them with a broader audience. But whether you use these songs as a rich teaching resource or just to brighten up the school-day a bit, we hope that as our project continues you will eventually find a relevant song for each lesson plan and concept in the math curriculum taught throughout the academic year. We'll be releasing new songs and videos regularly until eventually addressing all the math skills and concepts that a Common Core Curriculum demands from 3rd Grade to 4th Grade, and even 5th Grade to 6th Grade.
