Practice telling time to the nearest hour, quarter hour, or half hour by matching 32 analog and digital clock dominoes.
⏰ HOUR Your Students Doing Telling Time to the Half Hour, Quarter Hour, and Hour Intervals?
Your clock lessons don’t have to be time-consuming.
Instead of being a watchdog, let your students practice their newfound time-telling skills through partner and small group work with our hour, quarter hour, and half hour interval dominoes game!
To play, choose the card with “Start” and lay it down in the center of the playing area. Students determine the time on clock and match the card with the corresponding analog or digital time.
Through this activity, students will show they can tell time from analog and digital clocks to the nearest hour, quarter hour, and half hour, using a.m. and p.m. (They’ll also put their skip counting skills to use!)
Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding
A team of dedicated, experienced educators created this resource to support your telling time lessons.
In addition to individual student work time, use this math game to enhance learning through guided math groups, whole class lessons, or remote learning assignments.
If you have a mixture of above and below-level learners, check out these suggestions for keeping students on track with the concepts:
🆘 Support Struggling Students
Help students who need help understanding the concepts by pairing students in teams to play. Additionally, provide access to previous assignments, posters, and anchor charts for students to recall past lessons.
➕ Challenge Fast Finishers
Encourage students to create their own set of dominoes for a partner to complete. Additionally, players can write the time using words. (For example, 11:45 am = eleven forty-five in the morning or 45 minutes after 11 in the morning.)
🃏 Upcycle Into Playing Cards
When students no longer want to play dominoes, turn this game into a deck of cards! Break out your scissors and cut the dominoes in half. Students can play games like Match It, Go Fish, or Snap, to name a few.
