Learning Resources Big Time Student Clock, Teaching & Demonstration Clock, Develops Time and Early Math Skills, Ages 5+, Clock for Learning, 12 Hour,Back to School Gifts

Great size and good quality perfect to teach kindergarten.

Such a helpful visual for students learning time and worth the money. Hour hand moves as the Minute hand moves around from 0 to 12. Effective for EL learners. Would buy again!

My 3rd grader is learning about time right now in school. She’s finding the story problems very difficult. My husband and I are finding that it’s very hard to try to help her work through problems without some kind of visual aid. I looked to trusty Amazon to see what we could get that would be helpful. This has turned out to be the BEST learning tool we’ve ever purchased. I’m particularly happy that turning the minute hand all the way around the clock advances the hour hand. It helps when we are working through problems.I use it to quiz her, I’ll set the time and have her tell me what time it is, or I ask her to set it to a time. Then we can work out story problems together. Like if you want to be done with your homework by 6:15 and you have 25 minutes of reading to do, 15 minutes of science and 40 minutes of math, what time do you have to start your homework? These story problems used to end in a lot of frustration on all our parts. Now she takes her little clock and sets it for the time and moves the minute hand backward (or forward depending on the problem) to help her find the answer. I see that she’s more of a visual learner and this clock helped out a lot with that. So much so that she offered to pay me back for it, I of course declined, but it goes to show the value if your kiddo is struggling.I saw that other reviewers have mentioned that the minute hand gets off sync with the hour hand. Ours hasn’t had that problem, but I told my daughter to only ever move the minute hand and never try to hold the hour hand in place while moving the minute hand. It seems like it would be easy to realign them, but I’m not sure and I’m not willing to experiment on my perfect functioning clock. It also is a little smaller than I imagined it would be, but it’s perfect for little hands and the size makes it easy to store. I’m very pleased that it has a removable stand, it keeps it in a good position to see when doing homework.

This has been really helpful with teaching my kindergartener to tell time, and he really likes to use it. All pieces feel very durable except for the hour & minute hands, which are okay but could be better. This is an educational clock so it must be turned manually. Set a time and ask the kid to tell you what it is, or have him set the time you want. Other reviewers have commented on the stand being loose, we haven't had this problem, it is still very secure. Other reviewers have commented on the hands being or becoming loose and out of adjustment, we have had this problem. I asked my kid to tell me what time it was and he had a little trouble understanding because the minute hand was slightly off. The hour hand would not be quite at 1, for instance, but the minute hand would be a tick or two past the 12. I took the hands off and applied some super glue to the hour hand, while holding it where it should be, this didn't interfere with it's rotation. It's a design problem, not that it became worn out. When you unscrew the hands you can see there is clearly just a tad too much play with the hour hand. Anyway, it's good now and the kid wants to set the time every time he sees it. For the price it's worth it to me, but it definitely could have been designed just a bit better.

Now when they tell you it’s small you better listen. This clock is super cute and definitely will get the job done. However. Pay close attention this is TINY. A good 5 incher. I didn’t pay attention to the measurements so that’s on me. But all in all. Hard plastic. Nice little stand. Great function with turning the hands. The minute hand is blue which matches the minutes in the clock as the hour hand is red to match the hours on the clock. Great buy all in all.

Great learning tool !

I am a homeschooling mom who was having a hard time teaching my son time. So I thought about what worked for me.This clock came within days of ordering looked exactly as pictured and has helped tremendously. It’s the perfect size. The colors have helped my son grasp hour hand vs minute hand.

I am not a fan of this clock! Is is so light weight and flimsy! If you or your student wants to change the time, you have to be holding the clock or it just slides across the table. I bought this in hopes that I would be able to use it for both of my children, I doubt it will last that long. We have many Learning Resources products that we love, this one is not up to their normal standards.
