PRIMARY MATHEMATICS
CLOCK GAMES is a preschool program designed to teach youngsters how to read a mechanical clock.
There are five activities. The first four deal with matching. The target time is written in
standard decimal notation. The child moves the clock hands until the time on the clock
corresponds correctly to the decimal notation. At this point, if the Enter key is pressed,
the child will receive an aural and visual reward. A beep is heard for an incorrect clock
setting. Each game in this program offers a progressively more difficult activity. The first
only deals with exact hours. The second uses half-hour intervals. The third has quarter-hour
intervals, and the fourth has 5-minute intervals. The fifth game is called "Free Play". This
simply means that the child may move the hands however they wish and the decimal readout
will give the correct time for the current position of the hands on the clock.
