Finding Facts About Time

Developing the awareness of the three measuring systems is important as time is crucial in our society. This is because time has always been a part of our existence. Firstly, learning about clocks can be beneficial as analog clocks can help children understand the passage of time because they have hands that are consistently moving. Secondly, learning about calendars can help children understand and become familiar with temporal concepts, new vocabulary, number sequencing and patterns. Thirdly, learning about seasons is important because it also helps children understand the passage of time and teaches them about change.
