So 4:54 equals six minutes to five o'clock? ... The learning clock helps kids understand the relation between the analogue and digital indication of time. At the push of a button the dual clock can be set to any given time - with the two clocks going synchronously. For learning purposes you can cover one half of the casing and give a child the task of reading the other indication of time. The display of the analogue clock indicates daytime, night-time and minutes; the digital clock operates both in a 12-hour and 24-hour mode. You can either put up the learning clock on a table or hang it on the wall. 2 x 1.5 volt batteries = AA batteries necessary (not included). Material: ABS, Metal Measurements: 38.5 x 21 x 4 cm
