The clock can easily be built using this. I really like how easy it is. My kindergartener was able to identify what a clock should look like after seeing it. Among the few things that I dislike are that the magnetic hands are insufficiently strong to stay attached to the board when being turned. I have to remove them or awkwardly hold the base when moving It would be more convenient if the hands could work independently from one another - having to turn the minute hand all the way around the clock just to have the hour hand move one hour is pretty irksome, especially for preschoolers who really only need to learn.
They may be able to tell time with the "how to" we write together, but are unable to recall it by themselves.
I love the different color of the hands because they go with how the numbers are arranged, etc. I like it because of the way the hands go with the numbers. numbers), and those hands will color coordinate, making it easier for children to tell time. *I did see that another reviewer decried the fact that the hands are only going one way (like a real clock). That's something I consider to be an advantage. Each revolution of the blue minute hand marks the birth of a new hour on the red hand. If you wish to quiz students quickly, you can use flash cards. You can also make your own clock with paper plates and paper brads or you can use Judy clocks. In my opinion, this is an excellent teaching tool, and I am sure that any teacher with students learning how to tell the time would benefit from it.
It was fun and easy for me to learn how to tell time when I student taught in a 5th grade special ed classroom! While the magnet in the center of the clock is not strong enough for the hands to be moved around rapidly without slipping, I teach my students to turn using the knob on the blue hand this helps them gain an appreciation for the minute and hour hands' movements in sync. An example would be This timehand is creeping towards the 6 as it approaches 45.
The price is great for the whiteboard. It's only downfall is that the center parts slide. I fixed the clock from sliding when I placed a paper towel between its center and the board. There was a paper towel on my board and my principal wondered what it was for.
Magnets held fast on the wall, nothing fell off in the middle of the lesson. My K students enjoyed using it and picked up the concepts quickly. a big game and might be difficult or difficult to manipulate for students who are shorter. A perfect teaching tool, I would suggest it for elementary teachers who teach during instructional time. Because the display is so large, it would not be suitable for use in a house.
This clock keeps breaking in our classroom even though we really like it. After a while, the hands slow down and stop moving altogether. I just received a text message from my teacher saying the computer is currently jammed up with the second one. Unfortunately, this sort of thing is no longer available because kids love using it attached to the smart board.
This is a very visually appealing card. The magnetic numbers are very strong and stay in place very well. There is a need to use another hand (or even a finger) to keep the dial stable while turning, but this is not a bother. As if it were a real clock, the dials rotate The fact that it's not just a dial with arrows is a plus, but I don't mind this at all. I prefer hearing a clicking noise as the dial is turned, but that is just my preference. The magic show I use it for has a volunteer set the clock and while I do the routine, it gives me time to do what I need to do.
