Read, model, calculate, check
Ask learners to identify what is known and what the question asks. A drawing, timeline or equation can make the relationship visible before they calculate. Check the answer against the original story and keep its unit.
The ready-made English downloads include practice alone or a separate answer key. The generator keeps the same questions in the preview and PDF, and a saved link reproduces the selected set.
Learning objective
What this activity builds
Identify the missing part of a start–duration–finish relationship and use the correct time unit.
Worked example
A train leaves at 09:35 and arrives at 11:10 on the same day. How long is the journey in minutes?
60 + 35 = 95 minutes.
From 09:35 to 10:35 is 60 minutes. From 10:35 to 11:10 is another 35 minutes.
Teaching notes
Make the practice count
