Hello my wonderful Grade 5 superstar! 👋
I'm Kashef and today we're learning about Elapsed Time! Elapsed time is the amount of time that passes from the start to the end of something. It's like figuring out how long your recess or movie lasted. Ready to become a time detective? Let’s go! 🚀
🧠 What is Elapsed Time?
Elapsed time = End time − Start time
End: 10:45 a.m.
Elapsed: 1 hour 30 minutes
📏 How to Find Elapsed Time
- Look at the start time and end time
- Count the hours first
- Then count the extra minutes
- Add them together!
🎯 Let’s Practice Elapsed Time!
1. School starts at 8:45 a.m. and recess is at 10:20 a.m. How much time has passed?
2. You start playing at 3:30 p.m. and stop at 5:10 p.m. What is the elapsed time?
3. A movie starts at 7:00 p.m. and ends at 9:15 p.m. How long is the movie?
