Subtracting Time, 15-Min Intervals

EASYTEACHING.NET

Overview:

An activity designed to help students subtract elapsed times from given end times to determine the start times, focusing on 15-minute intervals. Designed for middle years students.

Learning Objectives:

Subtract elapsed times from end times to calculate start times.
Work with analogue and digital time formats to find start times in 15-minute intervals.
Develop time calculation and problem-solving skills.

How the Activity Works:

Students are given end times and asked to subtract the elapsed time to determine the start time. They will complete the worksheet by writing the start time in both analogue and digital formats. This activity helps students practise subtraction of time and reinforces their understanding of how time is represented in both formats, while working with 15-minute intervals.
