Clock face that separates the hour by colors- FREE visual aid for teaching time

I find that many kids have the misconception that the hour is whatever the short hand is closest to. This works in the beginning when they're learning how to tell time to the nearest hour. As telling time increases in difficulty, they have to relearn how to find the hour.

This visual helps by showing kids that the hour actually has a space/area. As long as the short hand is within that space, that's the hour.

Hope this helps those visual learners out there! Want to know more about how to best use this image? Read my blog post at Teacher Approved.
