Adding Time, 15-Min Intervals

EASYTEACHING.NET

Overview:

An activity to help students add elapsed times in 15-minute intervals, writing the end times in both analogue and digital formats. Designed for middle years students.

Learning Objectives:

  • Add elapsed times in 15-minute intervals.
  • Write the resulting end times in both analogue and digital formats.
  • Strengthen time-telling and time calculation skills by working with 15-minute intervals.

How the Activity Works:

Students are given start times and asked to add the specified elapsed times (in 15-minute intervals). They then write the resulting end times on both analogue clocks and digital clocks. This activity reinforces the concept of adding time in 15-minute increments and helps students develop fluency in using both time formats.
