Description
Elapsed Time story problem practice! 3.MD.A.1. Differentiated cards! 5 different levels of challenge to scaffold understanding of elapsed time! DIGITAL option included! Compatible with Google Slides and Google Classroom!
These task cards are perfect for elementary classrooms working on elapsed time problems! They are aligned to CCSSM 3.MD.A.1 so they are perfect for third grade, but can also be used for enrichment for 2nd graders as well as for remediation for 4th grade students. Learning to solve elapsed time problems can be challenging, which is why I created these differentiated elapsed time task cards so that you can help your students practice at their level, and scaffold them towards fluency in solving elapsed time problems!
These are much more engaging than just working on a worksheet, and can be used in a variety of different ways.
- Scavenger Hunt: One of my favorite ways to use task cards are to post them around the room like a scavenger hunt where students have to find and solve all of the cards in their level. This gets students moving around the room in a productive way during the math block!
- Gallery Walk: You also could use the cards as a gallery walk—each student is responsible for solving one card and drawing a model to show their thinking. Then students silently gallery walk around and gather noticings and wonderings about different student strategies.
- Whole Group/Small Group: Another way to use these cards is in a whole group or small group situation, where you show the card to the students and they each solve using their own visual model. This opens the conversation for comparing and contrasting strategies (Mathematical Practice 3).
- Independent Practice: Students could also work through the deck of cards with a partner or independently at their level.
- Distance Learning: Students solve the elapsed time problems at their developmental level. They can move up through the levels for more of a challenge! Students type their answers in the recording sheet boxes and can submit as a PDF or via Google Slides! A GREAT option for distance learning!
I recommend printing and laminating these cards for repeated use!
This resources includes 60 unique task cards, a recording sheet and an answer key! There are 5 different levels of cards and each level includes 12 unique task cards. The five levels include:
- Level 1 (blue): End time unknown. Time in multiples of 10 minutes.
- Level 2 (green): Start time unknown. Time in multiples of 10 minutes.
- Level 3 (yellow): Mixed practice, start time unknown, end time unknown, duration unknown. Time in multiples of 10 minutes.
- Level 4 (orange): Mixed practice, start time unknown, end time unknown, duration unknown. Time in multiples of 5 and 10 minutes.
- Level 5 (pink): Mixed practice, start time unknown, end time unknown, duration unknown. Some multi-step story problems. All times including time in multiples of 1, 5 and 10 minutes.
*File opens as a ZIP file with printable PDF file of the cards and answer key and a Power Point file for each of the card levels which can be uploaded to Google Slides for digital use.
I hope you enjoy these engaging and differentiated elapsed time task cards!
