Clock Face
The clock face (or dial) is the circular surface of an analog clock that displays the numbers 1 through 12 and the marks for minutes.
A standard clock face shows numbers 1-12 arranged in a circle, with small tick marks between numbers representing individual minutes. There are 60 minute marks total. Children learning to tell time need to understand that the clock face is divided into 12 sections of 5 minutes each. I Can Tell Time uses a clear, child-friendly clock face design with large numbers and distinct color coding to help young learners identify the numbers easily.
