This lesson plan presents activities to teach time concepts to students. It includes having students write down times shown on clocks and check their answers. It also includes a "Stop the Clock" game where students compete to name the time with increasing precision down to the minute. The plan is intended for teacher-led practice of a 3rd grade Virginia math standard on time.
