This telling elapsed time worksheets is crafted to enhance students’ ability to calculate the duration of activities, a crucial skill in time management and daily life. By using this worksheet, students will practice reading clocks, using a number line, and systematically determining the start and end times to calculate the total time spent on an activity.
Read the problem. Have the child read the problem to understand the task: calculating the end time after reading a book from 4:00 P.M. for 45 minutes.
Draw the start and end times. Guide the child to the clocks on the worksheet. They should draw the start time of 4:00 P.M. on the left clock. Then, after considering the 45 minutes of reading, they should draw the estimated end time on the right clock.
Fill in the timeline. The child should use the timeline in the middle of the worksheet to visualize the passage of time. They should mark the start time as 4:00 P.M., move along the timeline, and add 45 minutes to determine the end time.
Complete the T-Chart. Instruct the child to complete the T-Chart by writing “4:00 P.M.” in the start time column, adding “+45 minutes” in the next line, and recording the final end time. This process helps solidify their understanding of how time progresses.
The worksheet includes explicit instructions for solving math problems step-by-step, ensuring students grasp each concept clearly and build confidence.
Printing options: in color.
