Hello, friends! Today, we’re going to learn about time by solving some fun story problems. Are you ready? Let’s get started!
Imagine you’re at a baseball game. The game starts at 2 o’clock in the afternoon and lasts for 2 hours and 30 minutes. Can you figure out what time the game ends?
Let’s break it down:
So, the baseball game ends at 4:30!
Now, let’s go to the circus! The first act starts at 11 o’clock in the morning and lasts for 1 hour and 30 minutes. After a short 30-minute break, the second act begins and lasts for 1 hour. Can you tell what time the circus show finishes?
Let’s solve it step by step:
So, the circus show finishes at 2:00 p.m.!
Remember, when you’re adding time, 60 minutes equals 1 hour. It might seem tricky at first, but with practice, you’ll get the hang of it!
Thanks for joining our time adventure! Keep practicing, and you’ll become a time-telling expert in no time!
Time Detective: Become a time detective by observing the clocks around your home. Choose three different activities you do in a day, like eating breakfast, playing, or going to bed. Write down the time each activity starts and ends. Then, calculate how long each activity takes. Share your findings with a family member and see if they can guess which activity took the longest!
Time Travel Story: Imagine you are going on a magical time travel adventure! Write a short story about your journey. Start your story at a specific time, like 3:00 p.m., and describe what happens as you travel forward in time by adding hours and minutes. Use a clock or a watch to help you keep track of the time changes in your story. Share your story with your class or family and ask them to solve the time changes you included!
Clock Craft: Create your own paper clock using a paper plate, markers, and a brad fastener. Draw the numbers on the clock face and cut out two arrows for the hour and minute hands. Use your clock to practice telling time by setting it to different times and asking a friend or family member to guess the time. You can also use it to solve time problems, like the ones in the baseball game and circus show stories!

Alright, we have some word problems related to time. Read the story problems below and tick the box next to the correct answers.
The first problem states: “The baseball game started at 2 o’clock and lasted 2 hours and 30 minutes. What time was the game over?”
Let’s break this down. The game started at 2 o’clock and lasted for 2 hours and 30 minutes. We can add the 2 hours first:
– Starting from 2 o’clock, adding 2 hours brings us to 4 o’clock.
– Now, adding the 30 minutes gives us 4:30.
So, the answer is 4:30.
Now, let’s move on to the next problem: “The first act of the circus started at 11 o’clock a.m. It was 1 hour and 30 minutes long. After a 30-minute break, the second act started and finished 1 hour later. What time did the circus show finish?”
We start with 11 o’clock a.m. Adding 1 hour brings us to 12 o’clock. Then, adding the 30 minutes gives us 12:30 p.m.
After a 30-minute break, we need to add those 30 minutes. Adding 30 minutes to 12:30 gives us 1:00 p.m.
Now, we add the final hour. Adding 1 hour to 1:00 p.m. brings us to 2:00 p.m.
So, the circus show finished at 2:00 p.m.
Great job! Remember, when adding time, 60 minutes equals 1 hour, which can be a bit confusing.
