Clocks
A time is three quantities you can see: the hour as that many dots, every ten minutes as one ten-triangle, and the minutes left over as loose dots. Pick a clock.
Read it & set it — one a day
New clocks, a new kind each day, newest last. Set the Clock is the one that asks you: read a time from the dots, then build one.
Number Line Clock
The time walked out on number lines: hours 1 to 12, minutes as six tens filling up, seconds crawling along.
Tally Time
Minutes go in fives, so count them in bundles of five: 41 is eight fives and one more.
Set the Clock
Read a time from the dots, then build a time from its numbers. Both ways, ten goes a round.
Past and To
Minutes past the hour and minutes to the next, as tens and ones: 43 past and 17 to always make 60.
How Long Until?
How long from 3:40 to 4:15? Hop to the hour, then on. Then set the time later, and earlier.
Afternoon Hours
The 24-hour clock: 17:30 is twelve and five more, 5:30 pm. Read it and set it.
Number Fish (4D)
The time swims as schools of number-fish. Every ten minutes is a school of ten in a triangle; watch 39 become 40, and sixty seconds become one minute fish. Ask me: read the fish, then feed the tank.
The Week Clock
The week as seven brown dots: which day it is, days gone and days to go, how many days until.
The Sixty Chart
The minutes fill a chart of 6 rows of ten: every full row is a ten, so 10:43 is four full rows and three more, 43 gone and 17 to go. Read the chart and fill it to set a time. Oct 18
The Day So Farnew
The whole day as 24 dots, the morning row and the after-noon row: the hours gone fill up and the hours left stay empty, so at 5 in the afternoon 17 are gone (twelve and five) and 7 are left, 17 + 7 = 24. Read it and set it. Oct 19

Clock faces
A round face with hands, every number written in dots, and the time drawn as quantities underneath.
Annie's Clock
Count the dots round the face to tell the time, in Annie's own colors.
ColorMyMath Analog Clock
Hands and dots in the ColorMyMath colors; 50 minutes is five ten-triangles standing like a 5.
About Time — the time falls
The time as colored pieces with real physics. Read it while it is still, then it drops, floats or bounces. Oldest first.
About Time
The main clock: hour, tens of minutes and minutes fall as pieces. Tap to drop, tilt to tumble.
About Time 4D — Clouds
The time floating in a deep 3D tank; change the shape of the hour, the tens and the ones.
About Time 5D — Fish Tank
A flat-on tank so the time always reads H:MM; seconds swim in as little dots.
About Time 7D — Seconds Ball
All the seconds in one ball, grouped in tens: 37 seconds is three tens and a 7.
About Time 7D — Shooting
Every second is shot in from the side, the seed of a tap-a-side multiplication clock.
60 seconds
Ways to watch the seconds add up to one minute. Each clears at :00 and starts again.
Adding Cube
Seconds drop into a little cube and add up: 1 + 1 = 2, 2 + 4 = 6.
Seconds Circle
One dot a second crawls round a ring; a full ring is one minute.
Checkerboard
Seconds grow as squares on the floor: 16 is a 4 by 4, ten red and six purple.
Counting Seconds
Sixty places fill one a second, and every finished ten takes its tens color.
Sandboxes
Working copies of the About Time clocks, kept as starting points for the next idea. They run; they just are not new clocks yet.
About Time 3D Extra
A copy of the Clouds clock to try ideas on.
Addition Clock
Hour and minute balls in a tank, the start of a clock that adds.
About Time 6D
A copy of the 5D fish tank, ready for the next idea.
