In our district, the students start learning how to tell
time on an analog clock in first grade.
The topic is revisited when they enter second grade. Here are some of
the ways we practice our skills using software, websites, and apps:
Software
On the computers, we have a program called Clock Faces
made by Micrograms. This
program was purchased as a site license. Within the program students are
quizzed on their ability to tell time on an analog clock, able to set the time
on an analog clock, answer questions about a calendar, and match digital to
analog times. An impressive
feature about this program are the options. In any of the given activities, teachers or even the
students can change the difficulty level. For example, the time intervals can
be set to an hour, half hour, quarter hour, five minute, or one minute.
