Magnetic Elapsed Time Set

Unlock the complexities of elapsed time with the Magnetic Elapsed Time Set, an essential tool for making one of maths' toughest concepts clear and tangible. This set features two magnetic clocks paired with a segmented 24-hour timeline, enabling students to visually and physically track elapsed time-even when it crosses from PM into AM. The removable guide numbers provide flexible support, allowing teachers to differentiate lessons according to students' needs. Designed to promote hands-on learning, the set encourages active participation and helps students confidently navigate elapsed time problems with practical, interactive tools. Its large clocks and magnetic components are ideal for engaging whole classes in meaningful discussions about time intervals, improving both conceptual understanding and application skills.

Educational Benefits:

• Clarifies the concept of elapsed time through visual and tactile learning tools.
• Supports differentiated instruction using removable guide numbers.
• Strengthens understanding of time crossing AM and PM boundaries.
• Enhances student engagement via hands-on, collaborative activities.

Classroom Ideas:

• Model elapsed time problems using the segmented timeline and magnetic clocks.
• Challenge students to calculate time spans beginning in the evening and ending in the morning.
• Gradually phase out timeline supports as students become more confident with clocks alone.
• Use the magnetic clocks for paired or group discussions to verbalise reasoning.
