Grade 3 - Measurement - Elapsed Time with a Timeline

In this video, we'll explore how to solve an elapsed time problem, where we calculate the end time of an event that starts at a specific time and lasts for a set duration. We'll use a timeline to visually track the passage of time, making it easier for students to understand how time progresses.

By breaking the time into smaller, more manageable increments, students can work with friendlier numbers and ensure they accurately find the end time. This approach not only helps with solving the problem at hand but also builds a foundational understanding of how to work with time, an abstract concept for many third graders.
