What Time is it Mr. Clock?

Why is time important?

The math topic highlighted in our game is time. Clocks measure time, it is important to be able to read both an analog and digital clock.. A clock face has numbers around the edge and hands that move. The hour hand is the short hand the minute hand is the long hand.
60 seconds = 1 minute
60 minutes = 1 hour
24 hours = 1 day

How is this relevant to your child’s life?
Time dictates our lives, there is a time for school, a time for lunch, and a time for bed. By learning how to read an analog and a digital clock your children will be able to tell time all by them selves.
For Example:
Once your child is able to read and understand analog and digital clocks they will be able to tell time. After your child can read a clock than he or she will be able to find a later time and even elapsed time.
