Your child can read a clock perfectly - and still tell you that 35 minutes after 1:50 is 1:85.

That is not carelessness. It is correct base-ten thinking applied to a base-60 clock. 50 + 35 really does equal 85. The arithmetic is right; what is missing is the rollover at 60. Which is why telling a child to be more careful never fixes it.

This book replaces the first move. Instead of adding straight across, children learn to reach the next o'clock first and then count what is left.

Anna boards a magic clock train at 1:50 and has 35 minutes to travel. By the time she arrives, she has worked out the method herself - and so has the reader.
