Understanding Math – Telling Time
by appp media UG
“Understanding Maths – Telling Time” is perfect for kids just learning to mark time, and also sophisticated enough for older students. The features include being able to record a child’s voice in telling the time, and the gentle scaffolding of the needed skills to help a child learn how to set the hands of the clock and how to do math when calculating periods of time. Play is intuitive and the reinforcers keep kids engaged as it allows them to advance at their own pace. Teachers and parents will appreciate the ability to collect data, check progress, and adjust difficulty as a child gains mastery. iPhone and iPad: 3.99
