π Try the clock
You can learn by moving it. There is no score and no pressure.
1
Drag a handMove the minute hand around the face. The hour hand follows naturally.
2
Tap a numberTap 3 to see 15 minutes, 7 to see 35 minutes, and so on.
3
Jump through timeMove forward or backward by 15, 30, 45, 60, or your own number of minutes.
4
Log elapsed timeStart a log, move the clock, add events, then end it to see the full timeline.
π°οΈ Analogue Clock
Drag either hand. The two hands always stay connected like a real clock.
Touchscreen friendly
π Tap any clock number to reveal its minute value.

π· Add a photo
The photo sits behind the clock numbers and hands. It is stored only on this device.
βοΈ Doodle on your clock
Turn drawing on, then use a finger, stylus, or mouse. The clock hands pause while you draw.

Frequently Asked Questions
Because that is what a real analogue clock does. At 1:30, the hour hand is halfway between 1 and 2. MadMath keeps the two hands connected so learners see this relationship instead of memorising two separate hand positions.
MadMath shows the minute value at that position: 1 means 5 minutes, 2 means 10 minutes, 3 means 15 minutes, and so on. At 12, the minute hand is at 00 minutes at the beginning of the hour.
Start the log at the first time. Then drag the hands or use the time-jump buttons. The elapsed-time display updates continuously. Add events if you want intermediate points, and End Log when you reach the final event.
Yes. This is useful for questions such as βWhat time was it 45 minutes ago?β During an elapsed-time log, MadMath will clearly say when the current point is before the starting time.
No learning record, photo, or drawing is uploaded to MadMath. If you customise the clock, its colours, doodles, and optional photo are saved only in this browser so the child can come back to the same clock later. You can remove everything at any time with Reset to Default.
MadMath is a free learning project built with β€οΈ by a Singapore-based educator.
The goal is to make mathematical ideas visible, interactive, and easier to reason about.
