Ideas for class
- Use the clock timer to help students who are learning to read an analogue clock: the hand moves, the numbers stay.
- Show a lap of the face for a 5 minute task, so students can see when the hand will be back at the top.
- Time a 10 minute independent task and ask students to point to where the hand will be at the halfway mark.
- Ask a math question: if the hand has gone a quarter of the way round, how much time has passed?
- Use it for a class period: a 45 minute run with the face visible from the back of the room.
- Use it as a calm alternative to a flashing display for students who find digits stressful.

Questions
How does the clock timer read?
The hand starts at 12 and sweeps clockwise. A full lap is the whole time you set, whether that is 1 minute or 1 hour. The shaded part is the time that has passed, and the digits under the face show the time left.
Is it a real 60 minute clock face?
The ticks are drawn like a clock face, but a lap is always the time you chose. For 60 minutes the hand moves like the minute hand of a real clock.
Does it work in Night and Chalk themes?
Yes. The face, ticks and numerals follow the theme, so they stay readable on a dark or chalkboard-green display.
