Show your students how long one minute is. Use a story and activities to help them gain a better understanding of time.

In this lesson, students will learn about the importance of doing one thing at a time and listen to the book What Does It Mean to Be Present?. Then, they will experience the inefficiency of multitasking by doing three things at once.

Students put their understanding of one and 10 more to work as they write word problems for classmates to solve. This lesson plan can be used alone or with Picture Addition.
