Timers for Education

“I truly believe children learn the concept of time by using the Time Timer®. They can see the difference between 5 and 45 minutes. When they connect what they see to what they feel, time becomes less daunting.”

“Once my students learned to visualize time, they could visualize other abstract math ideas more easily.”

Nara Student
★★★★★

“My teacher used a Time Timer® in the classroom to give us a visual sense of how much time we had until an activity ended. It made me feel more comfortable knowing how much time was left.”
