Time Flips - Telling Time Practice Tool

Time Flips is a dual-purpose flip stand designed to help students build connections between digital and analogue time. Featuring both digital time displays and an analogue clock with movable hands, it provides a visual and hands-on way to demonstrate and practise telling time. Hours are colour-coded in red and minutes in blue, helping students distinguish between the two components of time. Covering both 12-hour and 24-hour formats, Time Flips can be used for teacher demonstrations, individual practice and interactive time-matching activities. It is particularly suited to Year 2 students developing their understanding of analogue and digital clocks.
