Make a 16:9 PPT for grade 1 students about telling time to the hours (o'clock) and half hours (half past).

This resource is a comprehensive teacher's guide designed for an introductory lesson on telling time using analog clocks. The lesson focuses on helping students identify and understand 'o'clock' and 'half past' times, aligned with set educational standards (CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.MD.B.3). It provides an overview of required materials, objectives for learning, and engaging activities to reinforce the concepts such as identifying the hour and minute hands, telling time to the hour, and setting specific times on a clock. Additionally, it includes interactive elements like matching games and a 'Clock Masters' activity, where students can practice and demonstrate their understanding of time as it relates to their daily routines. The guide encourages a dynamic learning environment emphasizing both individual and group participation, making it a valuable resource for teachers aiming to instill foundational time-telling skills in their students.
