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 like many of the products from Learning Resources. We have several in our home use already. This magnetic clock set would be a wonderful addition for us. Thanks for the opportunity to win a set!
I would like the Alphabet Soup Sorters.
I would like to win it to help my 8,4,3 and eventually my 20 month old, have a hands on way to learn to tell time.
We would LOVE LOVE LOVE this! We are going over time right now! This would be wonderful!
I’d love this because my son still has some trouble with this, and he has two younger sisters coming up behind him. I could use a cool gadget to help me!
I would love to win this set. I love it and my son has such a hard time with telling time so this would be wonderful!!
I have 3 boys and will start homeschooling in the fall. I am trying to figure out everything I need. Every time it seems I have a question about something, I come to your blog and you have answered it. I have loved the videos! We could really use a clock. I will be teaching a 4th grader, 2nd grader, and preschooler. Love the set.

I would love to learn this to teach my daughter to tell time. That way I would have one less kid asking me what time it is…LOL
