The Lesson
Part I: Learning Activity
1. Read the following to your students: "Ruby, a middle school student, has too many interests and too little time. She is having difficulty balancing a variety of activities, and her homework and chores are suffering from it. Her mother insists that she improve her time management by building a schedule. You will watch a video segment in which Ruby works out a schedule and enters it into a planner. As you watch the video, figure out how your schedule would look if you mapped it onto the same planner."
2. Play the Time Management QuickTime Video .
3. Distribute Handout 1: Your Schedule and Handout 2: Schedule Questions .
4. Discuss responses to handouts 1 and 2.
5. Use the first two pages of Handout 3: Calculating Elapsed Time Using a Number Line as a transparency to demonstrate the use of a number line in calculating elapsed time.
6. Have students work on the five number line problems on handout 3.
7. Discuss student answers to handout 3.
Part II: Assessment
Assessment: Level A (proficiency): Students calculate elapsed time with and without a number line representation.
Assessment: Level B (above proficiency): Students calculate elapsed time on analog clock faces.
We assign reference terms to each statement within a standards document and to each media resource, and correlations are based upon matches of these terms for a given grade band. If a particular standards document of interest to you is not displayed yet, it most likely has not yet been processed by ASN or by Teachers' Domain. We will be adding social studies and arts correlations over the coming year, and also will be increasing the specificity of alignment.Media Resources Used in this Lesson:
