Teaching How to Tell Time? We Can Help!

You’re in the right place! The Teach Starter team has been hard at work creating new and useful resources to help you teach your students how to tell time, starting with a handy Telling Time printable anchor chart.

This anchor chart breaks the art of telling down into small chunks, giving students a visual reference of the hours/minutes, the units of conversion between time increments, and the difference between A.M. and P.M.

• Plan activities around the time anchor chart, such as having students create their own clocks or participate in time-based games and exercises.
