Airport Flight Schedule

This worksheet helps students in Grades 3 and 4 practice elapsed time, time subtraction, schedule interpretation, and real-world problem solving using an airport flight schedule. By analyzing departure and arrival times across AM and PM periods, students strengthen their understanding of time intervals, sequencing events, and applying mathematical reasoning to authentic data scenarios.

Learning Goals

• Elapsed Time with Schedules (Grades 3-4)
  Calculate travel durations and layover times using real-world flight data.
• Time Interval Problem Solving
  Subtract start and end times accurately, including problems that cross AM and PM.
• Interpreting Tables and Data
  Read and analyze schedule tables to extract relevant information.
• Sequential Time Reasoning
  Understand the order of events and how time progresses across multiple flights.

Instructional Benefits

• Teacher-Created Resource
  Designed by educators to align with elementary math standards and practical skill development.
• Real-World Context
  Uses an airport travel scenario to make time measurement meaningful and engaging.
• Flexible Classroom Use
  Works well for independent practice, partner work, small groups, enrichment, or homework.
• Builds Practical Skills
  Encourages attention to detail, logical thinking, and real-life time management awareness.

This printable worksheet supports students as they build fluency with elapsed time, time intervals, and schedule interpretation through a realistic air travel context. It reinforces mathematical reasoning, data analysis, and problem-solving accuracy while connecting classroom learning to everyday experiences. Suitable for both classroom and homeschool settings, this no-prep resource provides engaging practice with essential time concepts.
