TIME TRAVELER'S CLOCK
Measurement Games Math Game
Learn to configure analog clocks, calculate elapsed time, and travel through time with an interactive clock face!
How to Play
- 1Select a mode: Setting Time or Time Travel (Elapsed Time).
- 2If Setting Time: Drag the minute or hour hand to match the target time. Let go to check your answer!
- 3If Time Travel: Look at the current time, read the instructions (e.g. "Move forward 45 minutes"), and adjust the clock hands to the correct future or past time.
- 4Use the Digital Hint button if you get stuck.
Rules
- The short, thick hand is the hour hand. It points to the large numbers (1 through 12).
- The long, thin hand is the minute hand. It points to the small tick marks (0 to 59).
- There are 60 minutes in an hour. When the minute hand crosses 12, the hour changes.
Top Tips!
“When dragging the minute hand, remember that each big number represents 5 minutes (1 is 5, 2 is 10, 3 is 15, and so on). Count by 5s to find your target minute faster! For elapsed time, sometimes it is easier to add the hours first, then the minutes.”
