Elapsed time
By SGS

Hi there! Isn't that funny, I'm teaching elapsed time to my fourth graders, too! Just an idea, how about taking the television guide section (in grid format) out of the newspaper and making a copy for each student. (You might even make an overhead transparency for you to use), then generate some quesitons using the grid. As a final activity, have the students create some questions using that or another grid. Be sure to have them complete the answers. Good Luck! (A funny thing, last year I told my class that we would just "touch on" elapsed time, and we did. Wouldn't you know it, on the NY State test there was a dreadfully hard question about elapsed time! Who knew?)
