Clock Wise

Place in mathematics curriculum:

This activity can be used to:

• Give students an introduction to basic time keeping
• Teach students how to tell time on a standard round clock

This activity allows the user to input any time through the day and see it displayed on the clock. The student can also choose to have a random time displayed and try to correctly identify it. This activity would work well in small groups of two to three for about ten to fifteen minutes if you use the record sheet and five to ten minutes otherwise.

Preparations for this activity:

• Explain how other types of clocks such as digital clocks keep time
• Explain that not all people use a twelve hour clock
• Explain some of the benefits of military time
