FREE MATH LESSON - “FREE Telling Time to the Hour Including Elapsed Time Math Centers | First Grade”

by Math Coach's Corner
1st - 2nd Grade

⭐ Telling Time to the Hour with Elapsed Time Math Centers give students meaningful practice reading analog and digital clocks to the hour while engaging in partner work that encourages math talk and reasoning. These math center activities provide focused practice with telling time while informally introducing elapsed time in a simple, accessible way. With both analog and digital clocks included, students build confidence through hands-on activities that are easy to implement in math centers, small groups, or as additional practice for second grade.

✨ Why it matters
Understanding time to the hour is a foundational skill that supports daily routines and future work with more complex time concepts. An informal introduction to elapsed time helps students begin to think about how time passes, not just how to read a clock.

✨ How it helps
These activities go beyond basic practice by encouraging students to talk through their thinking and make sense of time together. The combination of analog and digital clocks helps students build connections and recognize time in different formats.

✨ Ways to use

Introduce the activities in small-group to model expectations and support understanding before independent workstation use
Use as a math center where students work with a partner to match, record, and discuss time concepts
Use for targeted intervention or additional support for first and second grade students
Use to reinforce math talk and collaborative problem solving during partner work

✨ What’s included

16 clock cards (8 analog and 8 digital) showing times on the hour
8 elapsed time cards (before/after, hours later) for informal elapsed time activities
Recording sheet for accountability and student thinking
Teacher notes

✨ Looking for more?
This freebie is just a sample of my Telling Time to the Hour & Half Hour with Elapsed Time Math Centers | 1st Grade resource, which includes color and B&W cards for all times to the hour and half hour, two Math Talk cards to support student discourse, student instruction cards for four workstation activities, and an additional recording sheet for elapsed time. Together, these activities give students a wide variety of engaging ways to explore time to the hour and half hour and build an understanding of elapsed time.

This flexible set of math center activities is perfect for building understanding, encouraging math talk, and giving students meaningful practice with time to the hour.

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON - “Floss Rule Decodable Sentence Scramble - Sentence Writing Practice Worksheets”

by Tessa Maguire
Kindergarten - 1st Grade

These Floss Rule Decodable Sentence worksheets help students apply their learning of short vowels and final double consonants to writing sentences. Each given sentence focuses on a specific phonics skill with minimal irregular high-frequency words. They support students as they work from reading and writing words in isolation into constructing a controlled, decodable text.

Students cut out the given word cards and paste them to assemble realistic, decodable sentences to match the given picture. Once the sentence is assembled, students write it correctly onto the given lines practicing foundational skills. Each page also contains a reminder for capitalization, punctuation, and proper spacing between words.

Don’t want your students to cut them out? No problem! Just tell them to color each word as they use it. This is more difficult, however, so be sure students are ready for this step!

What's included:

o 7 pages of two sentence scrambled sentences

o 7 pages of answer keys - perfect as scaffolded support for students too!

High frequency words included in the sentences: he, what, to, do, she, has*, here, is*, the, was, green, boy, so, blue, likes, play, his*, you, me, see

Please note: there are some digraphs included and some words contain a final s.

I would highly recommend using these scrambled sentences during whole group or small group instruction first. Young students will need support in understanding sentence formation as well as sentence conventions. Once students have this foundation, these worksheets are perfect for independent practice during centers, small groups, morning work, or homework.

Students need more support? Have students complete this during your small groups or with assistant support while others complete independently. Or, have students work with a partner to identify the given sentences and paste them, then have them complete the writing independently. Each answer key page includes a traceable model sentence and a blank second line. For students needing the most support, give them the answer key and have them match the cards to the given sentences before gluing, then trace, and then write the sentence independently.

Students need less support? Have students construct their own sentences not using the given cards. The cards can be used as a helpful word bank, or cut out before duplicating. This challenges students to use their own phonics skills to write a sentence with grade appropriate content and spelling. This is a great next step towards independent writing.
