Close About Clock Sprint
Recognise times on analogue clocks with Arabic numerals, from o'clock to the nearest minute. Also practise 24-hour conversion for 13:00–23:55 in five-minute steps. The default practice mode is untimed, so the learner can think before choosing. Correct answers trigger celebrations. In Practice, a wrong answer highlights the correct choice before moving on. In Sprint, you can try another choice on the same clock. Some missed questions may return after intervening questions; a round can end before they return.
Curriculum purpose Learning objective: Choose the matching time for a generated analogue clock, or convert a supplied afternoon-to-night time to 24-hour notation.
Curriculum anchor: Selected time topics from England mathematics programmes of study, Years 1–4. Supplementary recognition practice; writing times, drawing hands, Roman numerals and the whole 24-hour day are not covered.
This game is designed as short independent practice after an idea has been introduced. It does not replace direct teaching, mathematical or scientific discussion, or an adult checking whether the learner can explain the idea away from the screen.
For parents and carers Read the minute hand, then check the hour hand. Before half past, use the current hour; for 'to' times, name the next hour. Consider stopping when attention fades and returning when the learner is ready.
Frequently asked questions Does it need an account? No. The game runs in the browser and asks for no name, email address, school or location.
Is it timed? Practice has no timer and ends after 15 answer events, including repeats. Optional Sprint counts 60 seconds of active game time: hidden tabs, pauses, celebrations and slower animation can extend elapsed time.
Can it be used on a phone? The answer choices are native buttons intended for tapping or keyboard selection. The clock task is visual; this description is not a full phone or accessibility assessment.
