Customer Reviews:

Great family fun in Spanish and English!

As homeschoolers, we usually just practice money with real money, and telling time throughout the day with real time, but I noticed my 6 year old could DO it, but not with a lot of confidence. So I purchased these. The week they came, we were talking about Spanish numbers and telling time in Spanish, so he immediately assumed the flash cards were to practice his Spanish!

And wonderfully, he is building confidence in his number abilities, money and addition, telling time, and improving his conversational ability in Spanish as well! These cards are an economical way to get more practice, and are sturdy enough for all the kids - so far no bent ones - of course the box is flattened already, but we just use a rubber band, so not a huge deal.

Don't be mistaken - there are not Spanish translations on these, but I just was thrilled with the multiple uses.

Learning Time and Money

The Time and Money flash cards feature 25 time and 30 money cards, 5 time tip cards, and 1 parent card. The parent card gives you ideas on how to introduce the concept of time and money using both the cards and real-life experience.

These cards teach children how to read both digital and analog clocks including how many minutes are in an hour and the meaning of the short and long hands on a clock. An example of one of the time cards shows a pocket watch showing 10 til 5; the back shows 4:50 on the face of a digital watch.

The money cards feature pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters. Sometimes the front and back of each coin are shown. For example, one card shows the front and back of a quarter. On the other side, it says "Place your coins on the spaces to equal 50 cents". There are two circles where a child can place actual coins in the spaces provided, reinforcing coin recognition. Coin combinations and amounts are also depicted. For example, one card shows 10 nickels. The other sides says 50 cents, 10 nickels.

Geared towards children ages 6 and up, School Zone Time and Money flash cards are a great way to introduce children to these concepts and then apply them to real world situations. Great product!
