Explore time, fractions, and more on virtual clocks with geared or free-moving hands. 

App Tutorial

Learn all about this app with a set of fun challenges for teachers and students.

Math Clock helps students become fluent working with time. Learners use analog clocks with geared or free-moving hands to learn how to tell time, explore jumps with count-by numbers, and visualize story problems involving intervals of time. By placing and shading fraction overlays, students use the clock to contextualize fractions with frequently used denominators.

This virtual version of the manipulative is an open-ended educational tool, ideal for elementary classrooms and other learning environments that use laptops, iPads, or Chromebooks.

The clock face is a key model used in Bridges in Mathematics, second edition. Online preview available.
