Timers

I went to this CST (Child Study Team) meeting the other day and we were coming up with ideas to help this student succeed in the classroom.  My idea was a timer that counts backwards so that the student can see how much time is left.  I suggested it because time can be a hard concept, but when asked to figure out how much time is left, can be even harder (especially for a 1st grader).  Here is what I am talking about.
