Learning objective

What this activity builds

Combine compound measurements and normalize smaller units into larger units when they reach the unit base.

Worked example

What is 2 h 45 min + 1 h 35 min?

4 h 20 min

The minutes total 80, which is 1 hour 20 minutes. Add the regrouped hour to 2 + 1 hours.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • Write the selected conversion above the problem before calculating.
  • Say each unit with its subtotal so unlike quantities are not combined.
  • For yards, keep quarter-foot values exact and write them with two decimal places.
