FUNCTIONAL LIVING SKILLS MatchTime Software MatchTime features a programmed learning approach for students who struggle with time concepts. Four progressively diffi cult levels each provide a pre-set sequence of multiple choice matching exercises. Students simply fi nd the clock that matches the large sample clock in Levels 1 through 3. Level 4 introduces the concepts of “earlier” and “later.” Extensive record keeping tracks student progress. Level 1 focuses on matching the hour hand while Level 2 introduces fi fteen minute intervals. Level 3 provides exercises using all the minutes and Level 4 progresses to clocks that are up to four hours earlier or later than the sample. Digital and analog clocks are used.
