Time - Elapsed Time - Practice

This math unit introduces students to the concept of calculating elapsed time in various increments and scenarios. Initially, students learn to add full hours and half-hour increments to given times, simplifying their understanding of time progression throughout a day. The unit progresses to more complex calculations, including determining the elapsed time between two given times, working with half hours, quarter hours, and even minute-specific increments. Problems are framed in both multiple-choice and practical application formats, requiring students to interpret clock faces and compute both forward and backward in time. This progression from basic hour and half-hour additions to precise minute calculations fosters a detailed understanding of time management. By the end of the unit, students can handle minute-specific calculations and visualize the impact of time addition on daily schedules, enhancing their time-telling and arithmetic skills related to hours and minutes.Skills you will learn include:

  • Changes in time
  • Hours vs Minutes
  • Changes in half or quarter horus
  • Digital or analog clocks
