Help with telling time??

[4maybabies]

I'm looking for some suggestions on videos, books, or websites that have to do with telling time. My dd7 needs some extra help, and my explanation isn't working for her.

Thanks!

This is what worked for my dd. http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/ClockWise/

 

If you click on "random" it will give you a time. There are three levels.

 

I usually had dd tell me the times orally, because we could get much more done.

 

Also, if you don't have one, buy an analog clock (thrift store) and get your dd an analog watch. Kids these days just don't get enough practice with all of the digital clocks!

I made one of THESE clocks for my son. It has helped a lot.

In the past with my older children, we used Kumon wkbks for telling times. I think there are two workbooks; the first one for telling time by the hour and the half-hour. The second book deals with telling time in intervals: 15 min, 5 min, etc..

 

Now, with my dd, I've purchased the Math Mammoth blue topic on "clock". I think a spent $3 for it.

I bought watches for my dds, and referred to them (the watches, not my dds :D) whenever possible. Dds were very motivated to learn to tell time. :001_smile:

I continually write the quarter hours by 15 minute increments for my kids until they memorize them (put "quarter after" at 15 min. mark, etc).

I also remind my kids to look at the small hand first. If it's past the hour mark you go backwards to the previous hour mark.

Time telling has been a task my kids have struggled with as well.

I bought an analog clock with the minute tick marks. I have them count the marks. I remember doing this as a kid and it really helped me understand that there are 60 minutes in an hour. Once they understand the basic clock, I usually buy them an analog watch and I ask them the time many times a day.
