Start with a ready-made worksheet

Read the start and end times and the stated time-span context. Count forward from the start to the end, then record the elapsed hours and minutes in the requested form. The hands alone cannot identify AM or PM.

Learning objective

What this activity builds

Combine accurate clock reading with a forward sequence of time intervals to determine a duration.

Worked example

A lesson starts at 9:40 and finishes at 11:15 on the same morning. How long does it last?

1 hour 35 minutes.

Move 20 minutes from 9:40 to 10:00, then 1 hour to 11:00, then 15 minutes to 11:15. The minute parts total 35 minutes, so the duration is 1 hour 35 minutes.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • Write the two clock readings before beginning the elapsed-time calculation, so reading and arithmetic can be checked separately.
  • Use an open number line with jumps to the next whole hour, then combine the jumps.
  • Keep the stated order and time-span context visible. A clock face repeats every twelve hours and cannot establish the day or meridiem by itself.
