Elapsed Time Using Timelines, 30-Min Intervals (1)

Overview:

An activity designed to help students calculate elapsed time using number lines. Students will work with start and end times, using the number lines to calculate the elapsed time in 30-minute intervals. Designed for middle years students.

Learning Objectives:

• Calculate elapsed time using number lines.
• Understand and apply time intervals of 30 minutes.
• Strengthen time-telling and time calculation skills through visual tools.

How the Activity Works:

Students are provided with start and end times, and a number line to help calculate the elapsed time. By using the timelines to jump from the start time to the end time, students can visually see how much time has passed between the two given points. They then record the elapsed time. This activity reinforces the concept of elapsed time and helps students visualise and calculate time differences effectively.
