How to use the Countdown Timer
Choose a ready made time with one of the preset buttons, or type your own minutes and seconds and press Set. Then press Start. The large numbers count down so everyone in the room can see them, and a gentle sound plays when the time reaches zero. You can pause and start again at any time, or press Reset to put the time back.
Ways to use it in class
A clear countdown helps with all sorts of activities, timed tests and quizzes, quiet reading, group work, tidy up time, or a quick brain break. Put it up on the board so the whole class can see how much time is left, which helps children pace themselves and stay focused.
