Ideas for Use

Example 1: Teaching students what an analogue clock is and all its components e.g. hour hand, minute hand, face of the clock, minute intervals, counting in 5’s.

Example 2: Hide the digital display and select the random time button. Allow the students to enter the time in their workbooks, by drawing it in analogue format and writing it in digital format.

Example 3: Give an analogue time to the learners, and ask them to do the following on their iPads.

an hour before/after
a half hour before/after
15 minutes earlier/later

This can be done is various class formats (small groups or whole class)

Example 4: Learners can take screen shots of various times, and create an eBook for other learners on “How to Tell the Time”.

Example 5: Understand the difference between the 24hr and 12hr clock, by moving the analogue clock to a time in the afternoon in 12hr mode, then asking the students to write/say what it will be in 24hr mode. Learners can then check their answers by switching into the 24 hour mode.

Example 6: Numeracy - Adding and subtracting hours and minutes to arrive at a time. This can be done to various levels.

1. Start at 3:30 am
2. Add 30 minutes
3. Subtract 10 minutes
4. What is the time now?
