Telling Time- Duration Minutes

Elapsed Time — Minutes

Practice calculating new times to the exact minute with natural questions like “It is 3:07. What time will it be in 52 minutes?” or “It is 9:42. What time was it 95 minutes ago?”

⭐ Student Tips

• Add or subtract the minutes carefully.

• When minutes pass 60, roll to the next hour.

• When going backward past :00, move to the previous hour.

• Always keep the hour on a 12-hour clock (wrap around after 12).

📘 Teaching Instruction

• Model elapsed time with clock faces or a number line.

• Encourage students to break large amounts into 60 + leftover minutes.

• Practice both forward (will it be) and backward (was it).

• Mix in hour, half-hour, quarter-hour, and minute practice for spiral review
