This elapsed time math aids worksheet is specifically crafted to help students practice the essential skill of calculating elapsed time. Understanding how much time has passed during activities is a key math concept that students need to master.
Read the problem. Begin by guiding the student to read the problem, which asks them to determine how long they played with their friends if they started at 3:00 P.M. and stopped at 4:45 P.M.
Draw the start and end times. The student should use the clocks provided on the worksheet to draw the start time of 3:00 P.M. on the left clock and the end time of 4:45 P.M. on the right clock.
Fill in the timeline. Encourage the student to use the timeline to visually map out the elapsed time between the start and end points. This step helps solidify their understanding of the passage of time.
Complete the T-Chart. In the T-Chart, students should write the start time on the left, add the elapsed time (1 hour and 45 minutes), and write the end time on the right. This chart reinforces the calculation process.
The worksheet includes explicit instructions for solving math problems step-by-step, ensuring students grasp each concept clearly and build confidence.
