Description

Teaching and learning elapsed time to 3rd and 4th graders can be a real struggle! Problems need to be hard enough to make kids think, without being so hard they give up. Make elapsed time actually fun with cartoons and short word problems that "tickle" their funny bone, while making those brains work!

Tell and write time to the nearest minute and measure time intervals in minutes. Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of time intervals in minutes, e.g., by representing the problem on a number line diagram.
Use the four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, masses of objects, and money, including problems involving simple fractions or decimals, and problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Represent measurement quantities using diagrams such as number line diagrams that feature a measurement scale.
