Reading & Writing Time to the Nearest Minute
T.I.P.S.
Students should recall their prior experience telling time to the hour and the half-hour in first grade to now tell time to the minute. Students should be able to write and tell time to the nearest minute using analog or digital clocks. They must be able to distinguish between a.m. and p.m. as well as use language such as morning, dusk, sunrise, etc. to distinguish between these two times.
Example
