Simple Stopwatch Review and Giveaway!!!

Want a sure fire way to empower and motivate your students?  What about help them track their growth and success?

Get some timers!!!!!

I believe that students can be responsible for their success and having them gather their own data about their academic performance is a great way to start!

I was so lucky to receive some Simple Stopwatches from Learning Resources and couldn't wait to take them to my classroom.
Find them at Learning Resources or on Amazon

These are so easy for kids (and me!) to use.  I love that there are only three buttons, clearly labeled with GO, STOP, and CLEAR.

We've been using them to time ourselves completing math fact drills and to work on fluency passages.  The kids love watching their times improve!


This is also working well for one of my little friends who needs a "deadline" in order to complete an assignment.  We can decide on a time limit and then he can start the timer and monitor it as he works to get his work done on time.

The best part is... Learning Resources has generously offered to send a set to a lucky winner!

You can enter using the RAFFLECOPTER below!

Happy timing!

  1. I love how simple these are too! I hope I win otherwise I really am going to have to buy some. I had it on my blog calendar to post about the little timed competition center I have my kids doing with the iPads. The use an app to complete math facts and then record their time. They graph each round. My kids love competition :)

  23. Love the cards! What a great idea! Great to use in math centers so that the kiddos can work on fluency! I bet the kids will love timing themselves. They could also time themselves when sorting words, reading/writing high frequency words, reading fry phrases and so much more!
