Lesson 13-- Estimating Time to the Quarter Hour

Introduction

Hello Mathematicians! Today we will learn about estimating quarter hours.

Read each row to skip- count time by 15 minute increments. Can you fill in the next 3 times in your math notebook? What patterns do you notice? Jot down your ideas in your math notebook.

**Skip Count Forwards by 15 Minute Increments**
12:00	12:15	12:30	12:45
1:00	1:15	1:30	1:45
2:00	2:15	2:30	2:45
3:00	__:__	__:__	__:__

Video

The clock in this video shows that it is almost 8:30. What do you notice about the hour hand?

Estimate Time to the Quarter Hour Interactive Slides

Part 2 Directions:

The interactive clock below is one- handed. It only has an hour hand. Use it to answer the following questions.
Where would the hour hand be if it was….
- 1:30?
- 6:00?
- Quarter after 4?
- Quarter till 10?
- 8:15?

In Your Math Notebook

Let’s get out our math journals and work through the following application problem. Make sure you read the problem carefully, draw a picture to match your thinking and write and solve an equation.

Read, Draw, Write, DONE!
R (Read the problem carefully.) Jenni got home from soccer practice and looked at the clock. She saw that it was about a quarter past 6 o'clock. Draw what Jenni saw in your notebook. D (Draw a picture.) W (Write and solve an equation, or label your drawing.)
