How to Teach About Time

Teaching time can be lots of fun.  The concept of time is complex but doable.  Hands on materials, worksheets, and actual clocks can prove useful to teach a young child how to tell time.  Because I have taught my oldest from a young age, I have a collection of useful teaching tools to use with my youngest child.  

I found the clock puzzle many years ago.  Unfortunately, I can't find the website where I found it.  The cutout match up was in a workbook.  I cut it out so that I could use it with more than one child.  The two top manipulatives I bought many years ago but found websites where they are available.

Following are some websites where you can find worksheets to teach time:














Well, thanks for viewing this entry about teaching the concept of time.  I hope I've given you some ideas for teaching about time, one of the first math concepts for the elementary grades.

On Tuesday, I will provide a list of websites that 
provide games and "time" products.  
Stay tuned!

How about you, my readers?  How have you taught your children about time?  Have you ever considered using real clocks, manipulatives, and worksheets to teach early childhood learning concepts?  Your children can benefit from using a hands on method to learn.


May God bless us all with His wisdom and peace, as we teach your children.
