Unit 9
This math unit focuses on developing students' proficiency in calculating elapsed time, specifically in the context of negative time changes, i.e., determining how much earlier one time is compared to another. Students begin by learning to calculate elapsed time between two specific times in terms of hours and minutes, including scenarios involving quarter and half-hour increments. They gradually progress to more precise calculations involving five-minute and even one-minute intervals. The unit advances from simpler tasks, where students deal with larger time chunks like quarter and half hours, to more complex tasks requiring them to calculate and understand time differences to the nearest minute. As they move through the unit, they are also challenged to perform these calculations across various contexts and formats, such as straightforward time difference calculation, adjusting times on a clock, and working with both analog and digital representations. This progression sharpens their skills in understanding and managing time, enhancing their ability to perform time calculations in practical and real-life scenarios, and deepening their overall mathematical thinking and problem-solving skills related to time management.
