Learning Advantage Elapsed Time Ruler - Student Math Measurement Tool

About This Product

Teachers and parents, if you're struggling to teach kids about elapsed time, this Learning Advantage time ruler is an absolute game-changer! It's won awards for good reason - it takes the confusing concept of time passing and makes it visual and concrete. The ruler format shows time in a linear number line instead of a circular clock face, which helps students actually see where the time goes. The coolest feature is that they interlock at the 'midnight' points to create one continuous 24-hour timeline. The front is laminated so you can use dry erase markers to mark beginning and ending times, then calculate the duration between them. It color-codes AM in red and PM in blue, making day and night periods clear and understandable. Think of it like an analog clock that's been unwound into a straight line - suddenly time makes so much more sense to visual learners! I've used these in my classroom and the difference in student understanding is remarkable. They go from confused to confident about time problems because they can physically see and measure the time passing. Whether you're teaching third graders basic elapsed time or helping older students with more complex time calculations, this tool makes the learning process so much more engaging and effective. It's durable, reusable, and addresses one of the most challenging elementary math concepts in such a clever way.
