Lesson 14-- Telling Time in 5 Minute Intervals

Introduction

Hello Mathematicians! Today we will learn about telling and writing time in 5 minute intervals.

Read down the columns below to skip-count backwards by 5 minute increments.  What patterns do you see?  Jot down your thoughts in your math notebook.  Use the patterns to predict what times would come at the intervals marked by blue question marks.

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.)

Winifred knows that her mom will get home from work at 5:35 PM.  How will she know that it is time for her mother to arrive home?

D (Draw a picture.)
