Telling and writing time to the nearest five minutesMathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the 2016 Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

This activity integrates telling time with dancing. Students have fun while dancing to some of their favorite music.  The students can build on their background knowledge of analog clocks.  Times indicated on the clocks show time to the hour, quarter past, half past, quarter to, 5 minutes).  This is a fun way to help students become masters at telling time.
