Time Tiles

Description

A great way to teach young students the concept of time, the importance of scheduling, time management, and a bit about fractions. Each of the plastic tiles are sized according to how much time they take. For instance, two 10-minute tiles, one 30-minute tile, and two 5-minute tiles can fit in the same amount of space as one 60-minute tile. The front sides of the tiles show the number of minutes, while the back of the tile shows the fraction of hour used. A 5-minute tile has 1/12 of an hour, while a 30-minute tile has 1/2 of an hour. These time tiles fit perfectly into the Time Tile Mats. The mats are dry-erase marker friendly, and each include a 12-hour period with the hours broken into 12 (5 minute)) sections. Included with the mat is an illustrated instruction manual on how to use the tiles and mats together. The laminated mat set includes 2 trifold mats, 32.5" x 10.2" each. ~ Brianna
