Understand time through play – with the free learning app for home and school.
Many elementary school children find it difficult to calculate with time. How much time passes between 10:15 and 11:45? Such word problems are a tricky challenge. Our free, browser-based learning application "Time Travel Adventure" turns this problem into an exciting game! Here, children practice calculating time spans in an intuitive and visually appealing way, strengthening their understanding of time along the way.
The "Time Travel Adventure" was designed from the ground up for children. Instead of complicated formulas and texts, two analog clocks take center stage. These automatically display random start and end times to the child. With a simple click on the treasure chest, they discover the result. The playful concept motivates them to master calculating time differences and introduces young users to the task without any pressure. This way, math becomes an adventure!
Whether your child is just starting with the clock or is already a pro at calculating with time, the four selectable difficulty levels adapt to every learning stage:
Every child learns differently. That's why "Time Travel Adventure" offers two different visual explanations:
The Timeline: This method breaks down the calculation into easy-to-understand steps: from the start to the next full hour, across the blocks of hours, to the final end time. The timeline is ideal for developing a fundamental understanding of time durations.
The Clever Trick: For children who prefer a more direct approach, we have integrated the "Clever Trick." This method uses a single animated clock to show the difference in hours and minutes separately. The key is to avoid crossing the "12" when calculating the minutes. This keeps the hour unchanged and makes the calculation child's play. The trick simply explains how to handle positive and negative minute differences and is a great alternative to the timeline.
Whether as a digital learning aid for homework, a supplementary online learning game for school lessons, or for individual support – "Time Travel Adventure" is the ideal companion for parents, elementary school teachers, and educators. The application is optimized for all devices and works directly in the browser. You don't need any installation or registration, just an internet connection.
