Solve Word Problems With Time and Elapsed Time!

How is elapsed used in our everyday lives? When we clock in at work, set a timer on the oven, or schedule an appointment, elapsed time is a math concept that is used all the time! If your students have learned the basics of calculating elapsed time, this worksheet pack will be a great supplement for your 3rd or 4th grade math class.  

With this worksheet, students will have the opportunity to practice solving elapsed time questions. Example questions include:

  • Samuel started his basketball game at 4:30 P.M. The game lasted 2 hours. What time is it over?
  • Marcie’s mom is cooking a ham. It needs to be in the oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes. If she starts the ham at 5:30, what time will it be done?

Students must solve each elapsed time word problem and then color the clock that depicts the correct time. An answer key is included with your download to make grading fast and easy!
