Time Teaching Tool For Students With Low Vision

DO IT YOURSELF ENTRY" ----- PURPOSE: To assist individuals with low vision in learning to tell time. For a student with low vision, using a standard wall clock as a teaching tool is difficult. The instructor explained that the clock has two hands, a little hand for the hours and a big hand for the minutes. She also explained that if the number to which the big hand was pointing was multiplied by 5, the time would be clear. For example, if the the hour hand pointed to 5 and the minute hand to 4, the time would be 20 minutes (4 x 5) after 5. AUTHOR: Pfotenhauer, M. TITLE: Cubit Cane (in Springboard). JOURNAL: RE:view.
