3rd grade math · Unit 7: Measurement and time

Elapsed time on a number line

What this lesson shows

9:40 to 10:25 in jumps to the next hour, then the minutes left.

The worked example

The lesson works this one step by step: 9:40 a.m. to 10:25 a.m. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.

The steps

  1. Start and end
  2. To the next hour
  3. The minutes left
  4. Add the jumps

Helping at home

Draw an open number line with the start and end times. Jump to the next whole hour, then jump the minutes left, and add the jumps. 90 minutes and 1 hour 30 minutes are both right.

If your kid gets stuck

First jump to the next whole hour.
