Understanding Math: Telling Time
© 2016 ApppMedia
Note: This German app won't be on the US market until late October 2016. The following is an advance review. Clean, structured teaching methods come to your iPad's screen, with this excellent time-telling tutorial that is ideal for early elementary classrooms. There are six activities on the main menu. The Learning Clock lets touch turn the hands (by touching the screen) of the clock to hear the time read out loud, in either the computer's voice or your own. A night/day dial helps add meaning to the abstraction of the clocks. This dynamic linkage between your finger's movement and the time measurements makes this a strong learning experience. A digital clock appears in other activities to help you associate the two types of clocks, side-by-side). There's also a test to see if you can display periods of time (e.g., 2 hours after the time shown). Correct answers are rewarded with custom clock faces. Teacher options include the ability to record a child's voice using a well designed sound capture utility (you record each numeral, and bit of time-telling language). This app is an ideal classroom utility. Show it on the big screen to time an activity or game. Teachers will love the individualized record keeping features -- you can set up a profile for each student. This app is part of the "Understanding Math" series, from German-based ApppMedia. The app was financed by FilmFernsehFonds Beyern.
