According to the EasyRead teaching method, what is the second step in telling time?
According to the EasyRead teaching method, what is the second step in telling time?
- Determine which side, 'minutes past' or 'minutes to', the long hand is pointing to. (correct)
- Calculate the difference between the long and short hands.
- Identify the number at the end of the short hand.
- Say the hour.
How does the EasyRead clock face aim to improve time-telling compared to a standard clock face?
How does the EasyRead clock face aim to improve time-telling compared to a standard clock face?
- By relying on estimations and approximations.
- By using only digital displays.
- By displaying all the information needed to tell the time directly on the face. (correct)
- By removing the hour hand to simplify the process.
Why might students find it difficult to read a regular clock immediately after learning with the EasyRead clock?
Why might students find it difficult to read a regular clock immediately after learning with the EasyRead clock?
- The EasyRead clock teaches an entirely different concept of time.
- Regular clocks require knowledge of Roman numerals, which students may not have.
- Students may become overly dependent on the additional information provided on the EasyRead clock face. (correct)
- The EasyRead clock uses a different numbering system.

Study Notes
- The lesson plan aims to teach how to tell time on an analogue clock, specifically in minutes-past and minutes-to the hour.
- The EasyRead Clock face simplifies time-telling into three steps, making it easier for students to learn quickly.
- The standard clock face shows only 30% of necessary information for telling time.
- Using a clock face that displays all the required information allows focusing on teaching students directly.
- Visual learning is important for memorizing data on the clock face efficiently.
Core Teaching System (3 Steps)
- Step 1: Read the number at the end of the long hand.
- Step 2: Identify which side the long hand is pointing to; blue for "minutes past" and red for "minutes to."
- Step 3: Read the number at the end of the short hand.
- Example: "8... minutes to... 2".
Basic Lesson Plan Using the EasyRead Clock Face
- Conventional teaching plans are not relevant when using the EasyRead dial.
- Understanding two things about the clock face is needed before learning the steps.
- Analogue clocks have two hands: a long hand indicates minutes, and a short hand indicates hours.
- Clocks have two sides, each with a different name and colour: blue for minutes-past and red for minutes-to.
- When reading time, use "minutes-past" if the long hand is on the blue side and "minutes-to" if it's on the red side.
- Telling time involves reading the number at the end of the long hand, identifying which side it points to (minutes past/to), and reading the number at the end of the short hand.
- Saying it: 15...minutes to...7
Additional Exercises
- Verbally practice exercises with the whole class for fluency.
- Ask each student to complete worksheets individually to identify those needing extra help.
- Overcome data memorization issues by installing an EasyRead Classroom clock in the classroom.
- Engage students by asking them to read the time on the EasyRead clock regularly.
- The EasyRead Time Teaching System prioritizes teaching the time-telling outcome, freeing up time for other curriculum elements.
