On 21 April I tutored Umutoni at her family’s apartment. We worked
on telling time again. I drew a clock on a sheet of paper like I did last time,
and cut up two other sheets of paper as clock hands. One was little and the
other was short. I wrote down the following: What time is it? She remembered
what this meant. I tested her by making the hands of the clock point towards
noon, and she said that it was twelve o’ clock. I drew more tick marks than
last time, and gave her more complicated times. When I moved the short hand to
the ‘one’, the big hand to 5, and when I asked her what time it was, she said
that it was one o’ five. This was incorrect, but I corrected her by showing her
that between the numbers 12 and 5 is 20 minutes. So it is one-twenty. She
understood and was able to tell the time when the big hand was placed over a
number.
