Title: Exploring Time - Three-Week Mathematics Lesson Plan for 1st Class (Droichead)

Objective:
The objective of this three-week mathematics lesson plan for 1st class students in Droichead is to introduce the concept of telling time, develop students' understanding of analog and digital clocks, and engage students in interactive activities to reinforce time-telling skills.

Week 1: Introduction to Time and Clocks

Day 1:
Introduction (15 minutes):
The lesson begins with a discussion about the importance of time and how clocks are used to tell time in daily life. Students are introduced to analog and digital clocks, learning about the differences between the two and how they represent time.

Main Activity (30 minutes):
Students are shown examples of analog and digital clocks, and a discussion ensues about the components of each type. This interactive session encourages students to understand the hour and minute hands on analog clocks and the numbers displayed on digital clocks.

Day 2:
Activity (40 minutes):
The lesson continues with a matching game using flashcards displaying different times. Students match the analog clock showing a specific time with the corresponding digital representation, reinforcing their understanding of time-telling on both types of clocks.

Telling Time on Analog Clocks

Day 3:
Introduction (15 minutes):
Students review the concepts of analog clocks and the hour and minute hands. The concept of hours, half-hours, and minutes is discussed to deepen their understanding.

Main Activity (30 minutes):
Students engage in a drawing activity where they use worksheets with blank clock faces to draw the hour and minute hands to represent specific times. This hands-on exercise reinforces their understanding of time-telling on analog clocks.

Day 4;
Activity (40 minutes):
Interactive practice is conducted, where students take turns setting the hands on a large analog clock to represent different times. This practical activity helps solidify their understanding of time-telling on analog clocks.

 Telling Time on Digital Clocks

Day 5:
Introduction (15 minutes):
Students review the concepts of digital clocks and the numbers displayed to represent time. The concept of hours and minutes in digital time-telling is discussed to enhance their understanding.

Main Activity (30 minutes):
Students engage in digital clock practice, using digital clocks to display different times and identifying and interpreting the times shown.

Day 6:
Activity (40 minutes):
Interactive activities are conducted where students practice setting the digital clock to represent different times, reinforcing their understanding of time-telling on digital clocks.

Conclusion:
The lesson concludes with a review of the concepts covered in the lessons, providing opportunities for students to practice telling time using both analog and digital clocks.
