Okay so, I acknowledge this week I have been a wee bit obsessed with apps developed by Seven Academy
, but they have the potential to benefit so many people from early learners to those with developmental delays and more! This continues to be true with their time-telling app: Tic Toc Time.
In Tic Toc Time, children will learn how to read face clocks through a series of elements they’re already familiar with: sun, shadow, night and day. It features colorful, fun graphics which will benefit children who have trouble with the order of numbers, or those who have difficulty understanding the concept of numbers.
A review of Tic Toc Time by The iMums:
With superb graphics, cute beaver characters, unique games, motivating rewards and easy to understand lessons, it is the perfect app to supplement your child’s lessons on time-telling.
Features of Tic Toc Time:
- Uses concepts children are already familiar with: sun, shadow, night and day.
- Cute beavers teach children how to tell time through a series of interactive explorations about the sun, shadows, and clocks.
- Explains not only how to tell time, but the science behind it.
- When using the app, children learn how to use a compass, following the sun and shadows, Earth’s rotation and reading a clock.
- In the games featuring the compass, children will need to stand up and turn to align their device with the appropriate cardinal direction.
- After learning about cardinal directions, they’ll learn about the sun’s position in the sky and how to use shadows to estimate the time.
- As a reward for completing tasks, children earn items for their virtual garden.
- Meets academic standards
- Meets Common Core State Standards for mathematics, including standards for telling time in grades 1, 2, and 3.
- Ability to manage settings:
- Change text, audio, sounds, AM/PM or 24- hour mode.
