Elementary Math Tip: Why do we still use analog (round) clocks in school? It's a visual that not only teaches time, but other Math skills, too. It's easier to visualize "half past," "quarter after," and "quarter to" on a round clock. Teaching clockwise and counterclockwise is a much easier skill to grasp when taught on an analog clock. Elapsed time is easier to "see" and figure out as well as counting by 5's. The hands on an analog clock are a good visual for 90, 180, 270, and 360 degree angles. Everyone needs to know how to read analog clocks as well as digital ones.

What does the military and FFA have in common and how can they work together?
