This math unit focuses on developing and enhancing students' abilities to calculate and understand negative elapsed time using various intervals and contexts. Initially, students learn to compute the time differences between two given times in hours and minutes, emphasizing negative intervals that illustrate "how much earlier" one time is compared to another. As the unit progresses, students engage with more complex problems requiring them to calculate negative elapsed time to the nearest quarter-hour, half-hour, five minutes, and eventually, down to the minute. They practice this by subtracting hours, minutes, and combinations of these units from given start times to determine new times, sharpening their skills in time subtraction, time conversion, and enhancing their overall capability to manage and manipulate time mathematically. Students visualize these changes on clock faces, deepen their understanding of time passage, and apply these concepts to practical, real-world scenarios.
