In these worksheets, students will learn to talk about time.

Elapsed time is the difference between the starting and the closing time. This can tell you how long an event took or will take. To find the elapsed time for any given event, the children must be able to understand the core concepts behind time and arithmetic operations. The time only has 60 minutes and seconds, while they have hours not more than 24. You must keep this in mind when you calculate the elapsed time. Let us discuss the concept below. You can think of a problem, by picturing the time on the clock and moving it by hours or minutes. For instance, 11:50 pm + 1 hour = 12:50 am; given that the day changes at 12. When you are taking out the difference, there are different things you need to consider. The most important thing is the borrowing step. In this regard, we have to be just as careful as we are during decimal subtraction.

An important aspect of telling time is the ability to understand and express intervals between two points of time. These worksheets introduce "elapsed time" (i.e., how many minutes there are until the next whole hour, etc.) It also introduces the terminology that we use when we talk about time in words. Students will learn to write time both as numerals and as words. Students will learn to use correct time terminology like o'clock, thirty, quarter, etc. Students will identify what they are doing at a specified time of day (a prior understanding of the concepts of A.M. and P.M. is required). They will find the correct time of day on a timeline. This set of worksheets contains lessons, step-by-step solutions to sample problems, and both simple and more complex problems. It also includes ample worksheets for students to practice independently. When finished with this set of worksheets, students will be able talk about time. These worksheets explain how to talk about time and express intervals between two points of time. Sample problems are solved and practice problems are provided.
