TimeScales CD-ROM for Mac - PC

Note: Review only, product no longer for sale.

I know what time it is!

Learning to tell time is tough. Some students will master the subtleties quickly, while for others even basic time concepts will be difficult to understand. TimeScales allows you to set the parameters to help each student learn and succeed. Here's how it works. TimeScales has three modules of increasing difficulty: Hours of the day, minutes of the hour and from time to time. Each module has a multiple choice and set-the-clock option. You determine the nature of the stimuli or prompt presented to the student. Choose from varying clock faces, digital time, time in words or audio cue only. A preference menu also lets you influence the difficulty of each question. The hours of the day module is limited to hourly increments. Minutes within hours are introduced in the second module. From time to time has students calculate the passage of time. TimeScales features easy to understand graphics, clear audio cues, student scoring and the ability to easily create and save student files.
