The Palm Clock from AGN Enterprises is a compact, hands-on mathematics teaching aid designed to help students understand analogue time, hours, minutes, clock-hand positions, and basic time calculations. Its student-friendly size makes it convenient to hold and operate during individual or group activities. It is suitable for primary schools, mathematics laboratories, classrooms, teacher training institutes, and activity-based learning programs.
The Palm Clock provides a practical way for students to learn how to read and set time on an analogue clock. The clock face displays hour positions, while movable hands allow learners to practise different time settings.
Teachers can use the Palm Clock to demonstrate concepts such as o’clock, half past, quarter past, quarter to, hours, and minutes. Students can then reproduce the demonstrated time on their individual clocks.
The model also helps explain the relationship between the hour and minute hands. Students can learn that one complete rotation of the minute hand represents 60 minutes, while movement between consecutive hour markings represents 5-minute intervals for the minute hand.
Its compact format makes it particularly useful for distributing to individual students during classroom time-learning exercises.
The Palm Clock encourages students to learn time through direct manipulation rather than observation alone. Teachers can announce a particular time and ask students to position the hands correctly, or set the hands and ask students to identify the displayed time.
It can also be used for introductory elapsed-time exercises by moving the hands forward or backward by a specified number of minutes or hours.
Repeated hands-on practice helps develop time-reading ability, numerical understanding, observation, and basic time-calculation skills.
