I am so excited to share the new
Montessori Telling Time Bundle with you! My husband and I worked so hard to make this exactly what we needed for our children and for everyone else.
One wouldn't think finding Montessori telling time resources would be difficult, but it really is.
Yes, there are clock nomenclature cards out there, but there are never enough to master telling time in it's entirety.
And to be completely honest, I haven't seen anything else!
Why Do We Need to Know?
Now some may be thinking, why do I need to worry about teaching time concepts when we live in a digital world where cell phones and asking Alexa are the norm?
To me the answer is simple. Learning to read clocks is just as important as learning how to add, subtract, multiply or divide. It's a skill you're going to need for the rest of your life.
Technology is not always reliable.
There are times when a battery goes dead or the power goes out.
Traditional clocks are always available for those who need them.
The coolest thing about clocks is that they're universally understood.
Once you know and understand where each number is, no matter what type of clock, what print numbers are written in, or where you are in the world, you can still figure out the time of day.
Our Story with Time
Telling time on a traditional clock is so very important.
However...
Dinomite and Bulldozer really struggle with telling time. It's something they have avoided for way too long.
Yes, I have introduced the concepts before.
Yes, we have practiced.
But it's too complicated to retain and apply to real world circumstances, especially with so many steps.
We want to make sure that Dinomite, Bulldozer and everyone else have enough resources to master telling time concepts and succeed in any time telling situation they're put in.
For that reason we've created a bundle with a TON of resources!

Let's take a closer look at each part of this bundle!
The Montessori Telling Time: Parts of a Clock Printable Pack provides you with so many different clock templates and hand options. Some are in color. Others are in black and white for coloring purposes. There are clocks without numbers as well to encourage writing and number identification.
We have used this printable pack in our classroom this week and I'm here to tell you the kids absolutely love it. Each of them has thoroughly enjoyed making their own clock to use when completing future work.
The
Montessori Telling Time: On the Hour Printable Pack is the perfect resource for introducing telling time concepts for the very first time. It focuses only on the hours with cards in digital and written out times.
Besides clocks in classroom template format and true to life images, this bundle includes "fill in the hand" clocks. When laminated these can be used over and over and over again.
Also included are clock clip cards and clock word strip cards. For those who love writing, the word strip cards are the perfect way to practice spelling out numbers and time concepts.
All hour times on a traditional clock are included in this printable pack in template and true to life form.
The
Montessori Telling Time: The Half Hour Printable Pack is designed very much like the On the Hour Pack, except it only focuses on half past the hour clocks.
There are two written out time options. One focuses on the phrase "half past" while the other focuses on written times like "three thirty." No matter which way it is presented, your child will understand after working with these materials.
All half past the hour times are included in this printable pack in template and true to life form.
The
Montessori Telling Time: 15 Minute Intervals Printable Pack is like the "One the Hour" and "The Half Hour" except that it focuses on fifteen minute intervals: quarter past the hour and quarter to the hour.
This printable pack is much longer because it includes all of the same printables offered in the other packs, but for two sets of times.
All quarter past the hour and quarter to the hour times are included in template and true to life image form in this printable pack.
The
Montessori Telling Time: 5 Minute Intervals Printable Pack includes everything you've seen in the other bundles but it's a little bit different in that different hours are used in each activity to vary up times.
All five minute intervals are covered in template and true to life image forms.
The
Montessori Telling Time: To the Minute Printable Pack may be my favorite printable pack in the bundle! It includes true to life images for every minute on the clock, along with fill in the hand templates.
If you've ever want to think about how much work went into creating this bundle, just think about looking at photos of clocks for hours on end making sure every single time makes it in. Lol.
Nowhere else will you find a resource like this!
The
Montessori Telling Time: Down to the Second Printable Pack is similar to other packs in the bundle but focuses on seconds on a stop watch as well as clocks with second hands.
Not every second is covered in the pack, but there are enough to introduce and practice the concept with the stop watch and clocks.
You also receive a stop watch template for kids and fill in the hand templates!
As my husband and I were creating this bundle we found an abundance of clocks with Roman Numerals. There were so many that we knew we just had to include Roman Numeral Clocks in this bundle.
The
Montessori Telling Time: Roman Numerals Printable Pack focuses on reading, writing, and understanding Roman Numerals on a clock. There are clock templates, fill in the hand clocks, Roman Numeral match up cards, and so much more.
And of course you receive an abundance of true to life Roman Numeral clock nomenclature and clip cards for practice.
It's one thing to tell time and then another to add and subtract time. The Montessori Telling Time: Addition and Subtraction Printable Pack is an introduction to that process. It includes word problems related to time with matching equation cards for most problems.
Whether you use the matching equation cards or decide to have students write out the process in their notebook is up to you. Either way, they're learning to apply time to mathematical problems.
The
Montessori Telling Time: Multiplication and Division Printable Pack is very similar to the addition and subtraction printable pack. It consists of word problems with matching equation cards for the majority of problems.
Word problems focus on time scenarios both in minutes and hours.
As you can see the
Montessori Telling Time Bundle includes A LOT of resources for the home or classroom.
If you have this bundle you do not need any other telling time resources. It has EVERYTHING!
