Mild Numeracy – What’s the Time Mr Wolf?

Tick Tock! Look at the Clock!

If you have made a timetable you might need to set an alarm to remind you to do something.

I have an alarm set for 11am to remind me to photograph the sky and an alarm set for the time I should be going to bed!

Throughout the day look at your clock on the hour and half past the hour, maybe you could set an alarm in your phone. What are you doing at those times?

Make your own clock

to do this you need to be able to

  • write the numbers 1 to 12 on stones, shells, pieces of slate.
  • order numbers to 12 in a clockwise direction
  • find a short stick and a long stick
  • colour the tip of the short stick, the hour hand

CHALLENGE – To add more information to your clock

  • Write number stones for counting in 5s up to 60
  • 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 etc

Dandelion Clocks!

When I was little I would love finding these seed heads intact and using them to ‘tell the time’. I would blow the dandelion and say 1 o’clock, blow the dandelion – 2 o’clock etc. I would ask what time it was and then try to blow the dandelion that number of times to confirm that a dandelion clock did work!
