Embassy Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Does anyone have any recommendations for a website that gives a child practice telling time? I'm looking at one that deals with the 5 minute increments as well as terms like "half past" and "quarter to." Surprise, surprise! My non-sequential learners needs extra practice with telling time.;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandty Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I actually had to just go and buy a clock to hang in the living room. I had one but it was roman numerals which isn't so great for a kid trying to learn to tell time. Everything else was digital in our house. I replaced it and then I ask "What time is it?" random through out the day. I also had to break them of the habit of running to the kitchen to check the digital clock on the stove. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serendipitous journey Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 We used the Kumon series books on Easy Time and Time; the eeBoo game, modified a bit and often using Judy clocks b/c the eeBoo clocks were imprecise -- their cards include some 5 and 1-minute increments, I believe; and the Schlessinger Library Video company's All About Time video.

Ellie Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 We were most successful with telling time by buying dc their own watches and talking about time...all the time. :) Ditto with calendars. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatmansWife Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 These games look good. If you click on the hand at the bottom you'll go to other math games (like money, etc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcconnellboys Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 The cover of this book has been redone. I don't know if the contents have also been revised, but my boys both used and liked this book (and it can be used over multiple years or with multiple children, because there's so much in there): http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Book-Time-Money/dp/1561895008 Websites: http://www.abcya.com/telling_time.htm http://www.netrover.com/~kingskid/timeindex1.htm http://www.apples4theteacher.com/clocks.html http://www.primarygames.com/time/start.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embassy Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Thanks! I'll be checking out the resources. He did recently get a watch and can look at it and tell me what time it is. He needs practice on specific terminology related to time (i.e. half past, twenty to, quarter after, etc.). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
