| Lesson Goal: This lesson
introduces students to the most important content on a clock: its numbers.
Upon completing this lesson, students will know what numbers appear on a
clock and where they belong. Students will also realize that all numbers
on a clock have Navajo translations. "The Numbers of a Clock" Animation |
||
| This is a non-interactive animation that introduces students to the numbers of a clock. Students are shown what numbers appear on a clock, and where each number is located. This animation is best presented to your entire class, for instance, with a projector. | ||
| "Learn about the Numbers of a Clock in English and Navajo" Activity | ||
| In this activity, students rollover the numbers on a clock and hear their names in both English and Navajo. This activity reinforces what numbers are on a clock and where each can be found. This activity is well-suited for presentation on a Smart Board or projector. | ||
| "Is The Clock Right Or Wrong" Activity | ||
| In this activity, students will see an analog clock. The numbers on the clock might be in the right place or they might be in the wrong place. Students must identify whether all the numbers are in the right place or some are in the wrong place. A Smart Board or projector are good media to present this activity with. | ||
| "Resort the Wrong Numbers" Activity | ||
| Some of the numbers are in the wrong place in this activity. Students must "shake off" the wrong numbers, and then click and drag them into the correct places on an analog clock. A Smart Board or projector are good media to present this activity with. | ||
| "Place the Numbers on the Clock" Activity | ||
| In this activity, students are presented with a blank clock; the clock's 12 numbers appear on the side. Students must drag and drop all of the numbers into their correct positions on the clock. A Smart Board or projector are good media to present this activity with. | ||
| "Catch the Numbers" Game | ||
| This game requires students to distinguish between numbers that do and do not belong on a clock. Students are presented with a clock missing some of its numbers. As numbers fall from the top of the screen, students must "catch" them if they belong on a clock, and let them fall if they do not belong. This activity works well in pairs or with each student on a computer. | ||
| In-class Activities | ||
| Two in-class activities that students can print and complete are presented in this section. One clock is missing its numbers. Students have to draw the numbers on the clock. Another page features a clock in the shape of a Navajo wedding basket. This page needs to be colored. These activities can be completed individually, in pairs, or in small groups. Students may find it helpful to share their work with each other once they are done. | ||
