Start, Finish & Duration, 30-Min Intervals (1)

EASYTEACHING.NET

Overview:

An activity designed to help students calculate elapsed times by completing a table with missing start times, elapsed times, and end times. Times are given in 30-minute intervals. Designed for students in years 3 and 4.

Learning Objectives:

  • Calculate start, finish, and duration of time periods in 30-minute intervals.
  • Complete a table with missing information about time durations.
  • Reinforce understanding of elapsed time through practical problem-solving.

How the Activity Works:

Students are given a table with three main columns: Start Time, Elapsed Time, and End Time. Some parts of the table are missing, and students are required to calculate the missing values. They will use their knowledge of 30-minute intervals to work out the start time, elapsed time, or end time as needed. This activity encourages students to practice their time calculation skills and understand how to work with time in real-life contexts.
