Select the answer choice that best describes children's readiness to understand how to tell time.
A. Introduce the units of measurement in grade one; expect accurate measurement in second grade.
B. It may be introduced in grade 2, but it will be beyond primary before accuracy is achieved.
C. Although introduced in preprimary, the measuring instrument is difficult to understand and not used accurately until the end of
primary.
D. Introduce the measuring instrument in grade three.
my answer is c.
If that is what your book says, go with it.
I had a reasonably intelligent 8th grader confess that he could only tell time with a digital clock. He couldn't do it with an analog clock.
Is says: time measurement devices and vocabulary wee introduced prior to primary, but it is generally the end of primary before conventional time is clearly understood and a non digital clock can be read with accuracy.
Thanks. Yes, it looks like C is the answer.
To determine the correct answer choice, we need to consider children's readiness to understand how to tell time. According to choice A, the units of measurement are introduced in grade one, but accurate measurement is expected in second grade. Choice B suggests that time may be introduced in grade 2, but accuracy will not be achieved until beyond primary grades. Choice C states that time is introduced in preprimary, but the measuring instrument is difficult to understand and not used accurately until the end of primary grades. Choice D suggests introducing the measuring instrument in grade three.
Based on the options provided, the answer that best describes children's readiness to understand how to tell time is indeed option C. It indicates that although time is introduced in preprimary, children may find the measuring instrument difficult to understand and may not use it accurately until the end of primary grades. This implies that it takes time for children to grasp the concept and become proficient in telling time.
Therefore, your answer choice of C is correct.
