Math tailored for 7-year-olds to develop a sense of numbers in everyday life!
It's easy to learn by learning the principles and then using pictures from everyday life.

Watching the clock requires repeated practice.
But simple repetition is a boring process.
'First Math for 7 Year Olds' is designed to help children learn the principles of clock reading first, and then become familiar with the problems.
If you learn the principles first, then write, read, and solve problems, you will understand them naturally.
Children's motivation to study will increase, especially when they learn with the cute character drawings of famous illustrator Chacha.

This book is suitable for 7-year-olds who know numbers to 100, and is also effective for first graders who need more 'minutes reading' practice.


First, learn the basics of how to read a clock!

This book will teach you step by step how to read the time, from the easiest 'what time is it on the hour' to 'what hour and what minute'.
The hour, where the long hand always points to 12, is told by focusing only on the number pointed by the short hand.
Also, when the long hand moves to 6 in 'what time', it tells you that it is 'what time is 30 minutes'.
By learning the principles of telling time in this way and practicing telling the time in everyday life, children will be able to confidently tell the time.


Second, it's easier to understand because it's expressed in everyday situations!

It is best to learn the concept of time and how to tell the time naturally in everyday life.
Show them the clock and say something like, “I have to go to bed at 9 o’clock.”
This book depicts children's daily lives and clocks in pictures, allowing them to learn the concept of time and visual reading at the same time.


Third, please help me learn the difficult 'what time and what minute' in principle!

'What time and what minute' is difficult for most children to read accurately.
Actually, this is something that we learn in the second grade of elementary school.
So, it's okay if you can't read 'what time and what minute' perfectly.
First, help them get used to it by repeatedly practicing counting out loud the small tick marks between the numbers, following the movement of the long needle.
You will find yourself reading the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4… as the long needle points to 5, 10, 15, 20 minutes.


If you find the third yard too difficult, help them build their confidence with the fourth yard (see calendar) and then slowly study the third yard.
It's not important to know one more piece of knowledge now.
It is more important to make learning fun and build confidence in your child.


Learn about the four seasons, months, and years through wall or desk calendars!

The calendar, which we often think of as a simple list of numbers, actually hides surprising rules! Since there are seven days in a week, each day of the week repeats every seven days.
Also, a week is not only from Monday to Sunday, but also from Tuesday to the following Monday.

“What month and day is Ji-hoo’s birthday?” “How many days does Saturday repeat every year?” etc. Play math quizzes with your children to help them discover the rules of dates and days of the week on their own.

Calendars are also useful for learning centuries.
Try counting the numbers on the calendar in order and also practice counting backwards.
Your sense of numbers will grow in your daily life.

To those who guide with this book!

1.
Parents, please praise me like this!
Praise is the foundation of children's self-esteem! For seven-year-olds, it's important to teach them the joy of learning, rather than just the basic math skills.
Example) Child: “I can already read a clock and a calendar!”
Parent: “Wow, that’s amazing?” “You’re really cool!”

2.
Parents, if your child is having difficulty with this book, please guide them like this!
Serious study of clocks begins in the second semester of the first grade in elementary school.
If you find 'Watching the Clock' difficult, you can first study the relatively easy 'Watching the Calendar (fourth yard)' and then study 'Watching the Clock (first to third yard).'
Studying clocks is all about wanting to know how the hands move and what time it is.
I recommend starting when your child's intellectual curiosity is evident.
