EASYTEACHING.NET
Overview:
An activity designed to help students calculate elapsed time using number lines, with times given in 5-minute intervals. Designed for students in year 3 and year 4.
Learning Objectives:
- Use number lines to calculate elapsed time.
- Count along the timeline in either direction to determine the elapsed time.
- Strengthen skills in calculating time differences using visual number lines.
How the Activity Works:
Students are given a start time and an end time. They can count forwards or backwards along the timeline to determine the elapsed time between the two times. This activity helps students understand how to measure time intervals using a visual number line, reinforcing their ability to calculate elapsed time.
