By Donna Bolin, Carla Hudson, Jennifer Floyd & Crystal Beshears There are three Units of time Seconds Minutes: there are 60 seconds in a minute Hour: there are 60 minutes in an hour There are 3600 Seconds in one Hour One Day = 24 Hours The little hand is for hours The big hand is for minutes It takes 12 hours for the little hand to go all the way around the clock. It takes 60 minutes (1 hour) for the big hand to go all the way around the clock. The Numbers on a Clock are 5 Minutes Apart The Marks between the numbers represent seconds There are 24 hours in a day and only twelve numbers on a clock. Therefore, the little hand must go around the clock two times to make a full day. Telling times is a part of life. Everyone learns how to do it. Time to Play Time for School Time for bed Minute: Is a unit of time equal to one sixtieth of an hour, or 60 seconds. Each time the big hand moves one minute of time has passed The numbers on a clock are separated by five minute increments. What is a quarter of an hour? 15 minutes= one quarter of an hour Two quarter hours make one half hour It takes 4 quarter hours to make one whole hour How Many Minutes are In an Hour? What is Half of 60? 60 30 That is Half of an hour How many 5 minutes are in half an hour? How many 5 minutes are in one hour? 6 12 How many quarter of an hours are in one hour? 4 The Faces of the Clock The big hand is busy But the Small Hand has power The Large one counts the minutes But the Little One names the hour. When both Hands stand at the top together, It’s sure to be Twelve O’clock. But Whether That’s twelve at noon or twelve at night Depends on if it’s dark or light. Clock Song (to the tune of “The wheels on the bus”) The hands on the clock go round and round, Round and round, round and round. The hands on the clock go round and round. To tell us the time. The short hand on the clock Goes from number to number, Number to number, number to number. The short hand on the clock Goes from number to number. To tell us the time. The long hand on the clock Goes around by fives, Around by fives, around by fives. The long hand on the clock Goes around by fives. To tell us the minutes. Time Song ( to the tune of Muffin man) Do you know what time it is? What time it is, what time it is? Do you know what time it is? Look at the clock. The little hand is on the number 12 The number 12, the number 12. The little hand is on the number 12 On our big clock. The big hand is on the number 12 The number 12 the number 12 The big hand is on the number 12 On our big clock. That means it is 12 o’clock 12 o’clock, 12 o’clock That means it is 12 o’clock Time to go to lunch!
