from 20. The numbers in between can be determined by lines, much like a regular
clock. Volume can be adjusted with a knob on the back. Requires 2 AA batteries,

These timers will have many uses in your classroom. Each timer has a round analog
clock face, with black numbers against a white background. Set the timer at any
point from 0 to 60 minutes or more (depending on the timer), then watch the time elapse clockwise. A red disk shows
the remaining time, gradually diminishing until no red is visible. The clock
face has numbers for every five-minute interval (i.e. 55 min, 50 min, etc.),
and tick marks designate minutes. The timer is silent (no distracting ticking).
It has an on/off switch for an optional "beep beep" sound when the
time is up. Of
course, these timers are handy for timing tests and homework sessions, but
these versatile tools can be used to teach time concepts to students and
promote time management as well. ~ Lisa
