Movable plastic clock hands with coded colors to avoid confusion of the “Minute” and the “Hour”. |

This Teaching Clock helps kids develop math skills from learning the analog clock. For example, recognizing the numbers 1 through 12, counting to 60, and counting by fives ? seeing each number as a multiple of 5.
An analog clock can also teach children about fractions. Fractions as parts of a whole can be seen on the clock. When the time is 3:15, the long hand is 1/4 of the way around the clock. When it is 3:30, the view is 1/2 the way around the clock circle or 1/2 past the hour. And 3:45 is 3/4 of the way around the clock.

2. Use the movable hands on the clock face to teach your child how to read an analog clock.
3. Ask your child to put the hour / minute numbers on the digital time box to match the analog clock. Put “AM” or “PM” magnets next to digital time.
