Paper Plate Clock-revamped!!!

So, we are getting ready to start out “Telling Time” unit in Math.  A while ago, I was browsing my favorite blogs and teacher websites and came across a paper plate clock that Mrs. Madden had her students create.  I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED the idea of having the flap for them to look under to seethe minutes!  So, I told myself that I wanted my students to create one of those as well. 

My team teachers and I were talking about making these at our plan session and wanted to make these a little less prep for us teachers, so I was messing around on my computer and designed the following document to match Mrs. Madden’s wonderful idea, but be less prep work for us.  I hope you like them!


By the way, my daughter made a sample clock (so I could see if my dimensions were correct in my document,) so I just had her use a marker to color in her numbers and hands.  Take a peek:

    Is there anyway that dots (minutes) can be put in between the numbers on the top part and the actual minute # in between the numbers on the bottom part? My first grader is telling time to the minutes right now and this would be fun to use during a game we play...but we need minutes because she's past learning to the 5 minutes. I know I can always write them in, but it would be so much cuter already typed on there. Thanks!

    If you click on the button that looks like a black square and a little white arrow, it will open in a new window (Google Docs) and you can print from there!
