When I was a kid, I had a really hard time understanding what they meant by clockwise. Sometimes even today I get tripped up. In grade school they used to tell everyone in class to get in a big circle, take hands and move clockwise, or counter clockwise. I never was sure which way to go.
As an adult I realize the problem was that my teachers didn't give me a reference point.
If I'm stading in front of a clock watching the hands go around, we'll that's clockwise.
But, if I'm standing BEHIND the clock watching the hands, we'll now they're moving counter clockwise.
And if I'm standing on any side looking at the clock, I see a point that grows into a line and shrink back to a point over and over all day.
