Hello, friends! Today, we’re going to have some fun with time word problems. These problems might seem tricky at first, but with a little practice, they can be easy and enjoyable. Let’s dive into the world of Miss Rose’s Sweet Bakery and solve some time puzzles together!
Miss Rose owns a lovely bakery. She opens her bakery every morning at 9:30. The bakery stays open for 8 hours. Can you figure out what time Miss Rose closes her bakery?
Here’s a tip: When solving word problems, it’s helpful to read the problem carefully and underline important information. Let’s try that!
Important details: Miss Rose opens her bakery at 9:30, and it stays open for 8 hours. We need to find out what time she closes.
Let’s use a timeline to help us solve this problem. We’ll start at 9:30, which is when Miss Rose opens her bakery. We’ll make small jumps to add up to 8 hours.
First, let’s jump from 9:30 to 10:00. That’s a 30-minute jump. Next, we’ll jump from 10:00 to 12:00, which is 2 hours. Now, we have 2 hours and 30 minutes.
We still need to add 5 more hours to reach 8 hours. Let’s jump from 12:00 to 5:00 p.m. That’s a 5-hour jump. Now, we have 7 hours and 30 minutes. We need 30 more minutes.
Finally, let’s jump 30 minutes from 5:00 to 5:30. So, Miss Rose will close her bakery at 5:30 p.m. Great job!
Now, let’s help Miss Rose with her blueberry muffins. She puts them in the oven at 8:15 and bakes them for 25 minutes. What time will the muffins be ready?
We know the starting time is 8:15, and we need to add 25 minutes. Let’s add the minutes together: 25 plus 15.
When we add 5 plus 5, we get 10. We put a 0 in the ones place and carry a 1 to the tens place. Adding 2 plus 1 gives us 3, and 3 plus 1 is 4.
Since we didn’t go over 60 minutes, the hour stays the same at 8. So, the muffins will be done at 8:40. Yum!
Whenever you have a time word problem, use small, simple jumps to make the problem easier. This way, you can solve it step by step without getting confused.
Great job solving these time puzzles! Keep practicing, and you’ll become a time-telling expert in no time. See you next time for more fun learning adventures!
Time Travel Adventure: Create a simple timeline on a piece of paper or use a clock with movable hands. Start by marking the time Miss Rose opens her bakery, 9:30 a.m. Ask your child to use the timeline or clock to add 8 hours and find out what time the bakery closes. Encourage them to make small jumps, just like in the lesson, and explain each step as they go. This hands-on activity will help them visualize and understand how time progresses.
Baking Timer Challenge: Pretend to bake something at home, like cookies or a cake. Set a timer for 25 minutes, just like Miss Rose’s blueberry muffins. Before starting the timer, ask your child to predict what time it will be when the timer goes off. Once the timer starts, have them observe the clock and see if their prediction was correct. This activity will help them practice adding minutes to a given time and improve their time estimation skills.
Time Detective Questions: Ask your child some thought-provoking questions to deepen their understanding of time. For example, “If Miss Rose decided to open her bakery 30 minutes earlier, at 9:00 a.m., what time would she close?” or “If the muffins needed 10 more minutes to bake, what time would they be ready?” Encourage them to explain their reasoning and use the timeline or clock to find the answers.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Today, we’re going to be looking at some tricky time word problems. With a good strategy, we can make these problems easier and more fun. Let’s read the directions and get started right away.
**Miss Rose’s Sweet Bakery Time Word Problems**: Read the story problems below and tick the box next to each correct answer.
Now, I want to remind you that with all word problems, we should read the problem once in its entirety and then go back and reread it, underlining important information. So, let’s begin that way.
Miss Rose owns a bakery. She opens her bakery at 9:30 every morning, and the bakery stays open for 8 hours. What time does Miss Rose close her bakery?
Let’s go back, reread, and underline the important information. Miss Rose owns a bakery. She opens her bakery at 9:30 every morning. That’s important, so let’s underline that. The bakery stays open for 8 hours. I also think that’s important. Finally, we need to find out what time Miss Rose closes her bakery.
This sounds like an elapsed time problem. We have a starting point and know how long the bakery is open, but we don’t know the closing time. Let’s use a timeline to figure it out.
We’ll start our timeline at 9:30, which is when Miss Rose opens her bakery. Now, we’ll make small jumps to work up to 8 hours. We’ll use friendly numbers to make this math easier.
Whenever I see a 30, I like to jump to an even hour, so I’ll jump from 9:30 to 10:00. That’s a 30-minute jump. Now, from 10:00 a.m., I’ll jump to 12:00 p.m. because that’s only 2 hours.
Now we have 2 hours plus 30 minutes, which gives us 2 hours and 30 minutes. We still need to account for 5 hours to reach a total of 8 hours.
Let’s jump from 12:00 to 5:00 p.m. That’s a 5-hour jump. Now we have 5 hours plus 2 hours and 30 minutes, which totals 7 hours and 30 minutes. We still need an additional 30 minutes.
If we jump 30 minutes from 5:00, we land at 5:30. So, Miss Rose will close her bakery at 5:30 p.m.
Using these small jumps, we can solve the problem without adding large numbers.
Now, let’s try the strategy for our next problem. Miss Rose put her blueberry muffins in the oven at 8:15 and baked them for 25 minutes. What time were the muffins done?
In this word problem, we know the starting time is 8:15, and we need to add 25 minutes to find out when the muffins will be done.
Let’s add the minutes together: 25 plus 15. When I add 5 plus 5, I get 10, so I put a 0 in the ones place and carry a 1 to the tens place. If I add 2 plus 1, that’s 3, and 3 plus 1 is 4.
Since we didn’t exceed 60 minutes, our hour remains 8, so the time is 8:40. We can check the box that says 8:40.
Whenever you have an elapsed time word problem, use these small, simple jumps to help you make the problems seem smaller and easier.
