Time Teacher Resources

Take a trip through time. A lesson resource provides instruction on the origin of current measurements for time. The text explains the different tools humans used throughout history to measure time as well as provides examples such as...

Youngsters think about the length of different periods of time. They label the seven most common units of time measurement, then answer eight questions that have to deal with those same units of time. A good worksheet!

Practice measuring skills with a 10-question worksheet that challenges scholars to measure lines using centimeters and inches.  

Students demonstrate how to tell time using an analog clock. In this time measurement lesson, students read the book Clocks and More Clocks and use analog clocks to demonstrate the time that the teacher called out.

How many seconds are in a minute? Or rather, how many seconds are in eight minutes? This problem is worked out through a series of animated steps and explained by a friendly young lady's voice. Your time travelers will appreciate this...

Identify the larger number, place the smaller number on the bottom, and then subtract in order to determine elapsed time. Animated slides of each step are also narrated by a friendly voice to teach elementary math minds how to solve such...

From temperature and mass, to length and volume, there are many different types of measurement. Expose young learners to a variety of measurement tools using this slide show of real-life pictures. Go through the presentation one image at...

Study customary measurements with your sixth graders. They will investigate linear and capacity measurements to then measure and convert linear and capacity units. Finally they will work in small groups to conduct experiments. Resources...

Elementary schoolers develop time-telling skills, one skill at a time. They examine the connection between time on digital and analog (clock-face) clocks. An excellent instructional activity on teaching how to tell time!

It's assessment time! Determine your young mathematicians' understanding of elapsed time with this brief, five-question quiz.

Elementary schoolers practice measuring elapsed time between events. Learners work together to complete a worksheet, embedded in the plan, on elapsed time. The puzzle they must solve takes some time to complete. One of the tasks each...

Take your time with this lesson. Junior engineers read about different types of clocks and then work together to build a pendulum time-keeper. There are no hints as to how they might go about accomplishing this complex task, so you may...

Everyone's heard of leap years ... but what about leap seconds? Young scientists get acquainted with one of humankind's most awkward standard measurements with a short video from a PBS playlist covering space and time...

Students examine concept of time, and explore difference between analog and digital clocks; students make art project to represent time and create a time-story problem and solution.

In this telling time activity, students use fuses which burn at different times to tell times in 45 minute increments. They solve this number puzzle and check their answer with an online solution.
