课程回顾
今天，我向孩子们介绍了“如何读时间”。课程一开始，我先和孩子们进行了几个小问答：
• 一分钟有多少秒？——60 秒
• 一小时有多少分钟？——60 分钟
• 半小时是多少分钟？——30 分钟
• 一个月有多少天？——28～31 天
• 一年有多少天？——365 天
一、认识钟表的指针
接着，我们正式进入主题。我先向孩子们介绍了钟表上的三种指针：
• 时针：最短，用来表示小时；
• 分针：中等长度，用来表示分钟；
• 秒针：最长，用来表示秒数。
钟面上共有 12 个数字，均匀排列，就像把一个大圆蛋糕切成 12 份。
二、认识半点
钟面从 12 到 6 是半圈，也就是 30 分钟，这正是我们中文里说的“半小时”或“半点”的概念，比如：下午 3:30、上午 11:30。
同时，我们认识了分钟和数字之间的对应关系：
每个数字之间相差 5 分钟，以 5 的倍数依次递进：
5、10、15、20、25、30、35、40、45、50、55、60。
特别要注意：
• 钟表的最大单位是 60 分钟；
• 指向 12 这一刻的分钟读作 00 分；
• 归零原则：分钟走满 60 就需要 小时 +1，也就是整点报时，如：下午 4:00、晚上 7:00。
还教给孩子们一个重要原则：
当时针在两个数字之间时，我们要读“前面的那个数字”作为小时，直到正好走到整点才读它所指向的数字。
三、课堂互动：拨钟读时
为了让孩子们更好理解，我准备了一个自制的纸质时钟。我拨出一个时间，让孩子们根据规则来读。孩子们参与度非常高，争先恐后地来操作时钟，课堂气氛非常活跃。

手工 DIY：制作纸质时钟
材料：
剪刀、二角钉、彩笔、白色纸盘、彩色卡纸、尖头笔、橡皮泥。
步骤：
1. 用彩色卡纸剪出两根指针：一根较短的时针，一根较长的分针。
2. 在纸盘上按正确位置写上 1～12 的数字。
3. 用尖头笔在两根指针的末端各戳一个小洞，在纸盘中心也戳一个洞。
4. 用二角钉把指针与纸盘固定，再把背面的两角压成 180 度，使结构稳固。
5. 最后用彩笔装饰钟面，一个可爱的纸质时钟就完成啦！

家庭作业
请爸爸妈妈和孩子一起玩“读时间”游戏。您可以和孩子一起制作一个纸质钟表，由家长报时间，让孩子拨动指针。反复练习会让孩子更熟悉时间概念，也能增加亲子互动的乐趣。
Lesson Review
Today, I introduced the children to the topic of “How to Tell Time.” At the beginning of the lesson, we started with a few quick questions:
• How many seconds are in one minute? — 60 seconds
• How many minutes are in one hour? — 60 minutes
• How many minutes are in half an hour? — 30 minutes
• How many days are in a month? — 28–31 days
• How many days are in a year? — 365 days

1. Learning About the Clock Hands
Next, we officially entered the main topic. I explained to the children that a clock has three hands:
• Hour hand: the shortest one, which shows the hour
• Minute hand: medium length, which shows the minutes
• Second hand: the longest one, which counts the seconds
There are 12 numbers evenly arranged on the clock face, just like dividing a round cake into 12 equal slices.

2. Understanding Minutes and the Full Hour
I guided the children to imagine that the distance from 12 to 6 on a clock is half a circle, which equals 30 minutes. This is what we call “half an hour,” such as 3:30 PM or 11:30 AM.
We also learned how the numbers on the clock relate to minutes:
Each number is 5 minutes apart, forming multiples of 5:
5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60.
Important points to remember:
• The largest unit on the clock is 60 minutes.
• When the minute hand points to 12, it represents 00 minutes.
• Zero-reset-rule : When 60 minutes pass, we need to add 1 on the hour , meaning it becomes a new full hour—for example: 4:00 PM, 7:00 PM.
I also taught the children an important rule:
When the hour hand is between two numbers, we read the smaller number as the current hour, until it reaches the exact full hour.

3. Class Activity: Reading the Clock
To help the children better understand, I prepared a handmade paper clock. I set a time on it, and the children read it according to the rules. They were very excited and eager to take turns operating the clock. The classroom atmosphere was lively and full of enthusiasm.

DIY Craft: Making a Paper Clock
Materials:
Scissors, split pin, markers, white paper plate, colored cardstock, sharp pen, clay or eraser.
Steps:
1. Cut out two clock hands from the colored cardstock: a shorter hour hand and a longer minute hand.
2. Write numbers 1–12 on the paper plate in the correct positions.
3. Use the sharp pen to poke a small hole at the end of both hands, and another hole in the center of the plate.
4. Use the split pin to attach the hands to the plate. Turn the plate over and flatten the pin to 180 degrees to secure everything.
5. Decorate the clock face and your cute paper clock is complete!

Homework
Parents can play a “time-reading game” with their children. You can make a paper clock together, call out different times, and let your child move the hands to the correct positions. Repeated practice will help children become more confident in reading the clock while strengthening parents and child interaction.
