Description
The Teaching Clock is a comprehensive educational tool designed to make learning about time a multi-faceted experience. Here are some of the key features and benefits:
-
Multiple Learning Modes: The clock comes with six alternative faces that can be easily switched by turning a dial. These faces include a 24-hour clock, Roman numerals, minutes, words, fractions, and a blank space for customization. This multi-format approach addresses different learning styles and can make the subject matter more engaging.
-
Customizable Blank Face: The blank face is a creative feature that allows teachers or parents to write on it, possibly filling it in with other kinds of time formats or annotations to better suit the child's learning needs.
-
Independently Moving Hands: The clock has internally-sprung hands that move independently. This is a crucial feature when teaching children about the relationship between the minute and hour hands, especially when explaining time before and after the hour.
-
Versatility: The clock can be either wall-mounted or set up on a desk with its stand, making it flexible to use in various learning environments—be it a classroom or at home.
-
Real-World Application: Understanding different ways to read time is an essential life skill. The multiple faces on the Teaching Clock prepare children for real-world scenarios where time can be presented in various formats.
-
Fine Motor Skills: Turning the dial to switch between different clock faces can also help children develop their fine motor skills.
-
Teaching Aids: The Teaching Clock is not just a tool for children; it's also a resource for educators and parents. It can serve as a focal point in lessons about time, aiding in demonstrations and visual learning.
-
Long-term Learning: Because it covers different ways of expressing time, this clock is a long-term learning tool that can be used from the earliest stages of understanding 'what is time' to more complex concepts like 24-hour military time and fractions.
In summary, the Teaching Clock offers an enriching, interactive way for children to learn about time. Its diverse range of features makes it a versatile and valuable addition to any educational setting.
