Whimsical Clocks Ch.1 Morphing Clock
We begin this collection of weird and wonderful mathematical clocks with the Morphing Clock that changes shape as time passes. The Geometry Expressions file is included so you can see how it was made and make new versions for yourself!
Whimsical Clocks Ch.2 Abacus Clock
Like your hands, an abacus lets you count in fives and tens. The first pair of columns are for hours, the second pair for minutes and the third pair for seconds. The bead at the top of each column counts for 5 single beads. The beads in the main compartment of the left column each count for 10 single beads. The bead in the top compartment, left column, counts as 50.
Whimsical Clocks Ch.3 Binary Clock
Our binary digital clock has 3 sections, red beads for hours, purple for minutes and cyan for seconds. Beads in the up position represent the binary digit 1, beads in the down position represent 0. In addition to the Binary Clock, we've provided a Binary Test app to practice your binary numbers.
