We recently concluded a unit on Telling Time in math. During a lesson on hand placement, I decided to jazz up our learning a bit by having students use pretzel sticks for the hands on the clock! We created clock faces using a clock template and a paper plate, and then the students received two small pretzel sticks each. They bit off half of one to serve as the hour hand and the other was assigned to the minute hand. I gave them several different times and they practice placing the hands for the hour and half-hour increments. Who knew learning could be so delicious!
