Clock Reader

• Grades 1–3
• Math

Clock Reader teaches telling time the way school does: o'clock, half past, quarters, five minutes, then 'what time will it be in 40 minutes'. Hearts keep it gentle and every level can be solved by looking at the clock.

Free trial: 3 days with the first 25 levels of every game. No card needed.

What it teaches

• Tell time on an analog clock: hour, half hour, quarter hour
• Read time to the nearest five minutes and to the minute
• Work out elapsed time ("40 minutes later")
• Read a clock face with no numbers

Chapter by chapter

• Quarters: Quarter past / quarter to (gr 2)
• Five minutes: Nearest five minutes (gr 2)
• Every minute: Nearest minute (gr 3)
• Later and earlier: Elapsed time (gr 3)
• Blank faces: Clock with no numbers
• Time puzzles: Mixed time problems
