Telling Time in a child's hands
Telling time for six to nine, with clock faces and time labels to match. Reading a clock is two skills wearing one name: reading where the hands point, and knowing what the number means about the day. The labels handle the second one, which is the half most materials skip. Task cards and control, so the child works alone. Durable plastic with rounded corners. In English, and the clock face is the twelve hour one.
Abstract Time Concepts
Develops understanding of complex temporal relationships through visual metaphors like melting clocks.
Mathematical Reasoning
Advances time-telling skills to include elapsed time, time zones, and calendar calculations.
Critical Thinking
Encourages analysis of time's relative nature and its measurement across different contexts.
Sequential Processing
Strengthens ability to organize and understand events in temporal sequences.
How to present it
Review the curriculum guide's scope and sequence. Prepare materials listed for the first lesson, including clock models and the distinctive melting clock visual cards. Create a dedicated math shelf space for time-telling work.
- 1Introduce the melting clock concept as a visual metaphor for time's flexibility
- 2Present elapsed time calculations using the visual timeline provided
- 3Guide practice with time zone conversions using the illustrated world map
- 4Introduce 24-hour time notation alongside traditional clock faces
- 5Apply concepts through the guide's problem-solving scenarios
3 tips for parents
- Practice time calculations during daily routines like meal planning or activity scheduling
- Discuss time zones when watching international sports or contacting distant relatives
- Encourage your child to plan their own schedules using concepts from the curriculum

Frequently Asked Questions
What time-telling concepts are covered in Level 6-9?
Level 6-9 covers advanced time concepts including elapsed time calculations, time zones, 24-hour clock notation, fractional hours, and abstract temporal relationships. The curriculum builds systematically from basic clock reading to complex time problem-solving suitable for upper elementary students.
What is the significance of the melting clock imagery?
The distinctive melting clock imagery serves as an engaging visual hook that captures children's imagination while introducing abstract time concepts. This artistic approach helps students visualize the fluid nature of time and makes complex temporal relationships more accessible and memorable.
How does this differ from earlier time-telling levels?
While earlier levels focus on basic clock reading and simple time intervals, Level 6-9 introduces abstract thinking about time, including duration comparisons, schedule planning, and understanding time as a mathematical concept. Students work with more complex word problems and real-world time applications.
What materials are included in this curriculum guide?
The guide includes structured lesson plans, visual teaching materials with the signature melting clock imagery, practice exercises, assessment tools, and extension activities. All materials follow Montessori principles of concrete-to-abstract learning and self-correction.
Is this suitable for children who struggle with time concepts?
Yes, the visual approach and systematic progression make it accessible for various learning styles. The melting clock imagery provides a memorable visual anchor, while the Montessori method allows children to work at their own pace with hands-on materials before moving to abstract concepts.
