Spectrum Advanced Clock - Student

Student Single Clock (10 cm).

The mathematics in this clock:

• Students need to tell and write time to the hour and half hour and this clock marks 60 minutes and 30 minutes.
• Students need to tell time to the quarter-hour using demonstration analogue clocks. The inner circle on this clock helps students see the quarters (15) and provides benchmark words like "after" so they know it is a quarter after 10 or a quarter to 11 depending on the minute hand.
• Students need to read time using analogue clocks to the nearest five minutes (which are all marked on the inner circle of the clock) and represent time in 12 hour notation (which are all marked on the outer circle of the clock). Students often have difficulty connecting which hand is minutes and which are hours but the colour coordination of minute hand to minutes (green) and the hour to the hours (blue) really helps support student learning.
