Learn to Tell Time

I took the ability to tell time for granted until my eldest began to ask when things were happening. When will we do this mom? And how long is 30 minutes? Let’s just say it’s a happy day when my kids learn how to tell time.

This app, Learn to Tell Time, let’s children practice four areas of telling time. There’s the basic time telling, figuring out elapsed time, calculating time after a certain time and time before. The app uses clocks and has the children figuring out the basics (what time does the clock show?) and the more advanced (what was the time 1 hour and 30 minutes before the time shown on the clock?). By default you can choose to give your child ten questions or one minute’s worth of practice. In the settings you can change the question limit, the number of minutes and the difficulty level of the questions.

I think the graphics in Learn to Tell Time could use a bit more polish but I like how it really gets you thinking about time. It provides good practice for an important skill.
