Chapter 3: Increasing Time Awareness

Lesson 9: Finding Time

Students practice and develop the habit of regularly noticing clocks and other time-telling devices, checking the time throughout the day to build time awareness.

Lesson 10: Guessing Time

In this activity, students strengthen their internal sense of time by routinely guessing the time before checking a clock. This helps improve their ability to feel the passage of time, anticipate transitions, and stay on schedule—even without a visible time-telling device.

Lesson 11: Catching Time

This lesson helps students strengthen their ability to sense the passage of time during daily activities. By practicing how to “catch time” before it runs out, students learn to divide their attention—staying focused on a task while also remaining aware of how time is passing. This skill supports better pacing, helps reduce rushing, and improves the ability to meet deadlines and transition smoothly to the next activity.

Lesson 12: Sensing How Long Tasks Usually Take

In this lesson, students practice estimating and keeping track of how long daily activities usually take. Strengthening this important estimation skill through practice helps to successfully plan and prioritize tasks throughout the day.

Lesson 13: Sensing How the Time Fills Up for Familiar Tasks

Students will learn to see and feel the subtasks and the movement of time involved in everyday activities. This awareness helps them more accurately predict how long tasks will take and recognize potential time-related challenges, supporting better planning and prioritization.

Lesson 14: Sensing How the Time Fills Up for Your Tasks

Students will grow their ability to visualize time as a volume and to see how time will fill up when they are carrying out their daily tasks. This will help them plan more accurately and adjust their plans as needed to avoid being late or feeling rushed.
