Standard: 3.MD.1 Tell and write time to the nearest minute and measure time intervals in minutes. Solve
word problems involving addition and subtraction of time intervals in minutes, e.g. by representing the
problem on a number line diagram.
I. DESCRIPTION OF CONTENT & CONTENT TYPE (Fact, Procedure, Concept, or
Principle):
Intervals of time (Procedure)
II. LEARNING OUTCOME (Objective):
Given cardboard clocks, students will understand (level of cognition) how to find intervals of time
(content) by completing problems that include adding and subtracting time (proving behavior or activity)
with 100% accuracy (level of performance).
DOK Level: 2 because students will show their knowledge of finding intervals of time by solving problems
correctly.
Language Demands
III. CURRICULUM CONNECTION (How lesson fits into larger unit sequence):
Intervals of Time Unit: Preceding Lesson- What does time mean to us, Following lesson- Adding and
Subtracting time on digital clocks
IV. INSTRUCTION
A. ENGAGEMENT (Motivational Activity):
Let the students get used to playing with the clocks by allowing them to match the time on their clock to
the oral time I say. This allows them to understand how to physically tell time on a clock.
B. INSTRUCTIONAL SEQUENCE (Teaching Methodology With Student Activities):
Steps:
1. Intervals of time
T: Define intervals of time
T: Intervals of time is the difference between the occurrence of two events measured in time
S: Students will repeat to a partner what intervals of time is in their own words
2. 15 minutes on the clock
T: Define and show students what 15 minutes looks like on the clock
T: 15 minutes is between the hour and half hour on the clock
S: Students will show me on their clock what 15 minutes looks like
3. Half hour on the clock
T: Define and show what half of an hour looks like on the clock
T: Half hour equals 30 minutes
S: Students will show their partner what half hour looks like on their clock
4. 45 minutes on the clock

T: Define and show what 45 minutes looks like on the clock


T: 45 minutes is on the opposite side of the clock as 15 minutes
S: Students will show me on their clock what 45 minutes looks like
5. Hour on the clock
T: Define and show what a hour looks like in the clock
T: Hour us always going to be the big hand on the number 12 on the clock
S: Students will show their partner what an hour looks like on their clock
6. Examples of problems
T: Show how to solve problems that involve interval of time (15 min, 30 min, 45 min, and hour)
T: Maggie took a walk. She left at 10:30 A.M and got home at 1:45 P.M. How long was she gone?
S: Students will pair share with their answers on their clocks to compare their answers
C. APPLICATION ACTIVITY (Practice and/or Reflection):
Students will get into groups (2 or 3) and work on a worksheet that has word problems on it about adding
and subtracting intervals of time.
D. MATERIALS & RESOURCES:
Cardboard clocks, pencils, word problem worksheet
V. Assessment strategies (methods for obtaining evidence of learning):
Formative
During the lesson, I will have students pair share with the examples and see if they comprehend. During
the application activity, I will walk around to check if the students are working together to complete the
word problems correctly.
Summative
I will collect the students worksheets to see if the completed them correctly
VI. ACCOMMODATIONS and/or MODIFICATIONS FOR INDIVIDUAL LEARNERS (Content,
Instruction, Practice):
Accommodations:
Quantity- Students will have to tell me how they got their answers to the worksheet.
Modifications:
Alternate goal- Allow students to look at a digital clock instead of a regular clock.
VII. HOMEWORK (if appropriate):
None
