Full teaching script
  1. Today: Telling the time. Our goal: Read o'clock and half past.
  2. Take one idea at a time. Pause after each sentence; ask for repetition whenever you need it.
  3. The short hand is the hour and the long hand is the minutes. When the long hand points straight up it is o'clock. When it points straight down, half the hour has passed — half past.
  4. Together: choose one example from the explanation and show how it works. What do you notice?
  5. Your turn: Make six times on a paper clock and read them aloud.
  6. Reflect: what made sense, and what would you like explained differently?
