Learning to Tell the Time

Telling the time from an analog clock doesn’t come naturally especially in this day when everything is digital.

Here, I created three sets of cards. The first set would be “5 minutes”, “10 minutes”, “a quarter” etc. The second set would be “before”, “to”, “past”, “after”. The third set would be “2”, “5”, “9”, “noon”, “midnight”.

Together the three sets of cards creates a combination like “10 minutes to 9”. The analog clock acts as an aid for visualising what the time is.

If your kid is in P1-4, try getting him an analog watch and teach him how to read the time. It will help at least one chapter in Maths!
