Many children find clocks and how they work difficult to grasp, and it’s not always easy to show them how time works.  A success story in helping children tell the time on analogue and/or digital clocks.

Bright and friendly animated talking clocks interact with learners, showing them how the hands of a clock move and how digital numerals change.

Four different activities teach the concepts and words involved in telling the time: Say the Time, Set the Clock, Match the Clocks and How Much Time? Each of these can be set at levels appropriate to pupils’ ages and abilities.

Students can have just one ‘go’ or up to three, and can work against time, receiving continuous feedback with real speech. AM, PM or 24-hour times can be selected, from just the hours right down to any minute e.g. 1 o’clock or 18:30 pm.

Target learning by year and term with the software's 48 Numeracy Strategy-linked files, and choose from a choice of primary and adult digital and analogue clock styles. 

Talking Clocks has an even better way of showing how clocks work, i.e. how an analog clock’s hands move in relation to each other, and how digital clocks' numerals change. Unless it’s pointed out, many children fail to notice (or quickly forget) that the ‘big’ hand moves rather faster than the hour hand.

Talking Clocks comes with three different clock styles: two animated 'kiddie' clocks, and one in a more adult style.
