Telling Time and Elapsed Time

In math, one of the areas we have started working on and reviewing is telling time to the minute and understanding elapsed time.  Ask your child the story about Big Brother and Little Brother on the clock.

Today we worked specifically on elapsed time and adding time on a number line.  This is a standard and expectation for 3rd grade.  It will be a skill/concept that we continually review and work on throughout the year.  I have included a link to a youtube video that shows how a number line can be helpful when solving elapsed time problems.  When I show video clips in school, I have to make sure I'm covering up the adds that sometimes pop up first because you never know what's going to show!  So, as much as I would prefer to send you links without adds, it may not always happen.  And it's always a good idea to view it first to understand it to help your child as much as you can.

Here's the link:
