How the Classroom Clock works

The classroom clock brings an accurate, readable timepiece to your digital board, resolving the common challenge of broken or missing wall clocks. By displaying synchronized analog and digital faces with high-contrast dials, it serves as both an everyday classroom utility and an interactive math learning resource.

Step by step

1. Access your ClassHelper digital board and select the Clock tool from the bottom menu.
2. Choose your preferred display style: classic analog clock face, modern digital numerals, or dual display.
3. Toggle the second hand on or off depending on whether you want dynamic movement or a calm display.
4. Scale the widget to fit your board layout, from a compact corner timepiece to a full-screen demonstration dial.
5. Reference the clock throughout the morning to reinforce student awareness of schedule transitions and lesson pacing.

Using Classroom Clock in the classroom

Time-Telling Instruction and Practice. In primary mathematics units, display both analog and digital dials side by side. Ask pupils to observe how the minute hand completes a full rotation while the hour hand advances by one increment.

Daily Schedule Awareness and Transitions. Keep the clock widget pinned in the upper corner of your morning message board. Students learn to anticipate lunch periods, recess bells, and subject changes by checking the board independently.

Standardized Testing and Examination Blocks. Expand the clock across the main screen during testing sessions. A reliable, clear time display ensures every student can pace their exam work fairly without needing personal wristwatches.

Morning Circle Time and Opening Routines. Integrate time-telling into your daily opening routine. Have your calendar helper state the day’s date while reading the current time aloud to build essential real-world math literacy.
