Real-Life Elapsed Time

This worksheet presents real-world scenarios where students calculate elapsed time in common daily activities, such as cooking, playing sports, or watching TV. Learners are asked to determine either how long an activity lasts or what time it ends, depending on the prompt. By reading and interpreting short word problems, students strengthen their ability to apply mathematical reasoning to familiar situations. The exercise encourages comprehension of AM and PM notation, reinforces addition and subtraction of time, and promotes logical sequencing skills. It’s an engaging way to connect time measurement to practical daily events.
