Most math classes teach fractions on pizza, or sometimes on quadrilaterals, while decimals are usually taught as rods of ten, and square grids of 100. The idea that a person could eat a decimal portion of a pizza seems unthinkable. Thus many people think fractions and decimals are entirely separate concepts. The ClockWise System's consistent approach from one chapter to the next makes the connection between these measurements and portions seem natural and instinctive, just like our understanding of the analog clock, which happens to be shaped very much like a pizza.
This book is just as enjoyable for adults or kids to read and to adapt the mental math habits it teaches. The system has been taught to second graders though adults, in many languages, thanks to its universally recognized clock basis.

While it is a workbook, its beautiful, durable laminated cover will protect it for many years, and both front and back covers fold out to reveal a blank clock for visualizing the equivalences on its face, and an astoundingly beautiful "Clockulator®" diagram that pulls the entire book together into one lasting image. To top it all off, the book comes with an 8 ½ X 11 inch poster of this same Clockulator. |
