The magical new way to learn telling time

Most time apps ask children to type numbers. Time Tiles is different — children build time using words and phrases, helping them understand what the clock is really saying.

A different approach

Learn telling time the magical way

Time Tiles transforms telling time from a worksheet exercise into a magical adventure where children learn to think, talk, and reason about time.

Instead of entering 5:35, children create time using words and phrases — building real understanding of what the clock face is showing.

How it works

Build time with words, not numbers

Most time apps ask children to type numbers. Time Tiles is different. Children assemble clock times from word tiles — developing the language of time, not just clock reading.

  • TWENTY + FIVE + TO + SIX instead of typing 5:35
  • Supports time vocabulary and number knowledge
  • Builds skip counting and mathematical thinking
  • Develops confidence with time language
