If your student is having trouble grasping this concept then you need to find the root of the trouble. What have you tried? Did you use a tactile approach? Or is the learning all visual and auditory? How about making a game up about it or having the student memorize it. Use a song that the student makes up, or rhyme? Carmella May, 23 2007 at 07:59 AM No, it's me actually :) I can't and never have grasped the concept of clockwise and anti clockwise. I did A Level maths and passed, so it's not that I'm really stupid, I just can't 'get' it. joe-speedy: You must have grown up in the digital age without the benefit of analogue watches. It is likely useless to type that 'Clock-wise" refers to the direction of rotation for the hands on the clock face as you look at it, if you have never seen or worn a clock that has hands and turns in that direction. Perhaps buying an old watch with hands that rotate may help you?

Look at a clock, if it's going forward,... that is clockwise. If you turn the hands of the clock backward one hour, you are turning it.... that's right, counter clockwise. There is no such term I know of called "anti-clockwise".
