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 to teach my daughter to tell time. That way I would have one less kid asking me what time it is…LOL
We’re just starting to homeschool, and telling time is one of the first thing my little one wants to learn. It would be great to have these as an aid.
We are doing Kindergarten with our oldest this year and we are working on telling time in math right now. This would be a great visual help withthat!
I’d like to win this for my youngest, who is just beginning to learn time.
I have to little guys who do well with hands on visuals and this would be perfect for them! My oldest struggles with telling time especially! This is such a great thing to have, and I never knew it existed!
I would love to win this set because I will be needing to teach time to my Kindergartener next year, this set would come in handy!!
I like the concept and the time line. Thanks for the opportunity.
My 4th grader is having a really hard time with grasping time. This would be helpful.
This would be a great hands on resource for my kids to learn to tell time!
LOVE this set!! Wonderful hands on learning tool! This would be a great addition for our homeschool room
