Classroom Examples

Elementary

1. In a second-grade classroom, learners review with the teacher the beginning and ending times which are allocated for the completion of their activity. In addition to noting and discussing the starting and stopping times which the teacher has displayed on the board, learners use their own small plastic clocks to model the timeline for the lesson as the teacher demonstrates using a larger visual aid of a clock.
 
2. During a third-grade science quiz, learners periodically check the timer situated in the front of the classroom to ascertain the minutes remaining for the completion of their quiz.

Secondary

1. In a seventh-grade science class, during a cooperative learning assignment, a learner in each group keeps time and informs other learners of the time remaining for their assignment.
 
2. In a tenth-grade algebra class, after explaining the allocated time for a problem-solving activity, a learner records the beginning time and ending time for the activity on the chalkboard. Learners consult the clock occasionally to determine the time remaining for the completion of their activity.
 
3. In a twelfth-grade French class, learners restate the goals for an independent project. Learners develop personal timelines explaining how they intend to complete various activities to accomplish goals.
