For a math problem such as this, it's often helpful to have a visual guide. That's why the Watch It! Elapsed Time Clock from Educational Insights was created. This teacher-invented learning tool is the simplest, clearest way to teach elapsed time...and it doesn't even use batteries!
Watch It! is the Simplest Way to Teach Students Elapsed Time
The Watch It! Elapsed Time Clock was invented by Nancy Balter, a 7th and 8th grade math and science teacher. She started with one of her favorite childhood toys, a geared clock, and took it one step further...to teach elapsed time. There are so many educational activities possible with the Watch It! Elapsed Time Clock and all of them begin and end in fun! For instance, check out these high quality teaching methods:
Calculating Elapsed Time - Difference Between Two Times
Pose an elapsed time problem...for example, "The birthday party started at 2 pm and ended at 5 pm. How long was the party?"
Adding Time - What Time Will It Be?
Pose a question such as, "It's 7:45 am right now. It takes 15 minutes for Eric to walk to school. If Eric leaves now, what time will he arrive at school?"
Subtracting Time - What Time Did the Event Start?
Pose a question such as, "The party ended at 3:00 pm. It lasted 4 hours. What time did the party begin?"
Telling Time
I loved the Watch It! Elapsed Time Clock and think it's an excellent teaching tool for either the classroom, home school or play room. The large, easy-to-manipulate clock faces definitely draw children in and capture their attention. This clock is simple to use, yet teaches difficult concepts in a fun and interesting way. I especially liked the open-faced back side of this tool which shows the inner gears at work!
If you are a teacher or parent who's looking to introduce the concept of elapsed time to younger learners, then be sure to give the Watch It! Elapsed Time Clock from Educational Insights a try. They'll rocket to the head of the class in no "time!"
