PDF Lesson 4 - Level 1-2- Calendar and Time- Teacher file

Pdf Summary

The Math Kangaroo Class for levels 1-2 focuses on learning about calendars and time, utilizing the Four-Step Method to approach and solve problems. The lesson includes a warm-up, basic facts about time (like a.m. and p.m.), and various problem-solving exercises. Topics covered include understanding the structure of a calendar year, including how the days, weeks, and months are organized.<br /><br />Key activities in the lesson involve solving problems such as determining the day of the week for specific dates, calculating time differences, and interpreting clock faces. Students are encouraged to use breakout rooms for collaborative problem-solving, with a focus on discussing, setting up problems, finding solutions, and exploring alternative solutions.<br /><br />Some example problems provided in the lesson include figuring out the day of the week for a party date, counting all full weeks within a period, understanding time intervals using clocks, and scheduling around opening hours. For instance:<br />- Anna’s birthday party falls on a Wednesday, 13 days after a Thursday.<br />- Ada finishes her 60-day pill regimen on a Thursday, starting from a Monday.<br />- Allan arrives 15 minutes late to a workshop, which started at 5:00 p.m. <br /><br />The lesson also includes practical examples like interpreting a train schedule and calculating the length of an intermission during a play. A review session emphasizes the importance of drawing clocks or writing days to assist in solving time-related problems. Additionally, there's an exercise for students to create their own time-related problems for more hands-on learning.<br /><br />Overall, the lesson aims to develop students' understanding and skills in using calendars and clocks effectively, integrating these concepts with basic arithmetic calculations.
