Life Skills TIME: Telling Time - Elapsed Time and Time Phrases - Unit 4

Time is one of those real world concepts that many students struggle with. Since telling time involves many, many smaller skills (counting, sequencing, distinguishing hour hand from minute hand, knowing when to use the numbers for fours vs minutes, etc.), kids especially in special education have a hard time keeping up.

I have designed this packet to address these weaknesses. They are also scaffolded to support instruction, and naturally differentiated to address increasingly difficult concepts in a very natural manner.

With this download, you will be getting access to UNIT FOUR of my time series.

This unit focuses on elapsed time and time phrases. Since this is quite a difficult topic for many students to understand, each step is scaffolded with specific strategies along the way. It has worked really well in my classroom and I hope it will in yours as well!
