Teachers & parents -- Looking for some solid, gimmick free clock drill? There's an app for that, and it's a good one. Designed to help your child improve their time-telling and arithmetic skills, this app promotes the development of a concrete understanding of time through a variety of activities and games. The app lets children: use Analog Clocks to set and tell the time; use Digital Clocks to set and tell the time; read and set clocks in 12-hour and 24-hour time; use whole, half and quarter hours; compare and convert digital and analog time and 12-hour and 24-hour time; practice mental addition by finding the difference between two clocks; and practice handwriting. The app features practice modes that let children practice and develop time skills at their own pace, and timed modes that promote the development of time-telling fluency. The personalized graphs display children's ongoing progress, and let them track their own learning as they master time-telling skills. If you're looking for some fancy bells and whistles or sophisticated artificial intelligence, you won't find it with this app.
