It points to the hour.
MATH IN LIFE · WARM-UP3 min
Telling time and handling money are both skills
Today you manage time and money!
We learn two things: read the clock, and use yuan to shop and make change.
🕐 Clock🪙 Money
STOP 1 · THE CLOCK5 min
Short hand is hour, long hand is minute
Two hands on the clock—who is hour, who is minute?
Pointing to 12 means on the hour.
Tip: short hand slow, long hand fast; read the short one first.
STOP 2 · READ TIME6 min
Minute at 12 is o clock; at 6 is half past
Short hand at 8, long hand at 12—what time?
Long hand at 12, short at 8—what time?
STOP 3 · YUAN, JIAO, FEN6 min
Our money is the renminbi, in yuan, jiao, and fen
Yuan, jiao, fen—which is biggest?
Largest: 1, 5, 10 yuan.
Middle: 1, 5 jiao.
Smallest, rarely used now.
1 yuan = 10 jiao; 1 jiao = 10 fen. They are friends of ten.
STOP 4 · MAKE CHANGE6 min
How many jiao in one yuan?
1 yuan = 10 jiao; how many jiao in 2 yuan?
2 yuan equals how many jiao?
STOP 5 · GO SHOPPING6 min
Money paid minus price equals change
A notebook costs 5 yuan; you pay 10—what change?
💵 付 10 元➖📓 5 元＝🪙 ? 元
Notebook 5 yuan, pay 10—change?
STOP 6 · PLAN THE DAY5 min
Time, like money, needs planning
You wake at 8—how do you plan your day?
🌅 8:00 wake up, school🍚 12:00 lunch📚 8 pm bedtime
Tell a partner: what time do you wake and sleep?
FINISH · SHARE3 min
🕐
You read the clock and handle money
Read hours and half-hours; know yuan-jiao-fen, convert, and make change.
Short hand hours, long hand minutes.
1 yuan = 10 jiao; I make change.
Tonight, look at a clock at home and say what time it is.
