Outcome: STAGE 1

MS1.5 Compares the duration of events using informal methods and reads clocks on the half-hour - Tell time on the hour and half-hour on digital and analog clocks

At this Stage, Stage 1, ‘telling time’ focuses on reading the half-hour on both analog and digital clocks. An important understanding is that when the minute hand shows the half-hour, the hour hand is always half-way between two hour markers.

Upon completing this Webquest, students will be able to tell why time is so important. They will be able to read analog and digital clocks.
