Interactive Learning Clock</h1> <article> <h1>Interactive Learning Clock</h1> <p>Mrs. Coggin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 15:25:47 +0000</p> <p>I hear all the time that many students have trouble with elapsed time. This <a href="http://www.time-for-time.com/swf/myclox.swf">interactive learning clock</a> from Time-for-Time.com may help.

There are 2 options for playing this game. The “Drag & Drop” option, which I’ve shown below, allows you to drag the boxes on the left to match the ones on the right. The other option is to enter the answer using the number pad provided, which also works fine on the SMART Board. Finally, there is an Assessment to see how much you know. Enjoy!
