Happy Monday everyone! Today I have a fun giveaway for you. It’s the Magnetic Elapsed Time Set by Learning Resources. This fun tool is an easy way to help students understand how time progresses.
I personally like the segmented timeline that comes with it to help the counting process. Sometimes the circular shape of the clock can be confusing I think, so it’s nice to have it in this format as well.
What are the details?
- The Magnetic Elapsed Time Set is $24.99
- The set includes 2 magnetic clocks with repositionable hands, and a 24-hour timeline with “start” and “end” labels, and removable guide numbers.
- The clocks are 10”
How do we use this?
I put them up on our magnetic white board as shown above and then set the clocks to different times. Next I have Tinker Bell position the “start” and “end” markers on the timeline strip. Together we count the time between the markers to see how much time has elapsed between the two clocks.
We also do this in reverse, I will set the “start” and “end” markers on the timeline, then Tinker Bell will place the hands in the correct position on the circular clock faces. Next we count the time going around the clock face and then the strip to verify.
What do we think?
I like this display, it really helps practice how to read a clock for younger kids, and also helps illustrate how we count the passing of time. It is fairly large as you can see, so you do need to make sure you have a space large enough to accommodate it. The full 24-strip will not fit on our little whiteboard, so I just place the ones we needed on it. You could also use this on a table instead of a magnetic board if you don’t have one. I also like how there are both the round clock faces as well as the segmented timeline to help show how time passes.

I would love to win this for my son, he’s dyslexic and sometimes “playing” with items versus looking at them works for him so much better and what we are working on clicks. What a wonderful giveaway.
My son is really struggling with this right now…I have been looking for a great teaching tool and I think this fits the bill…thanks for sharing!!!
We are starting to study time and this set would benefit us because like you my little ones seem to struggle with the circular clock structure.
I would love to win this set for my 6 yr old. I think it would give her a better understanding of time elapse.
Thanks for the great giveaway! My kids really love hands-on AND magnets, so this clock set is a win-win for us!
We just started homeschooling our two boys and when I implemented the use of a calendar board and daily learning notebook I realized they have difficulties with time. This set would be a great asset to us!
I have been looking for a way to teach time and how to read the clock! I would LOVE this set!!!!
I am currently working with my kinder on telling time and this would be an awesome resource. My 2nd graded could also use a refresher and l probably would use with him as well.
We would love to win as my daughter is just beginning to learn about telling time and this looks like a wonderful way to have a hands on approach! Thanks so much for all your wonderful work and great giveaways!
My 5yo really wants to ean how to tell time, but it’s such a struggle for her. These clocks would be great!
