Lesson 11

Solve Problems Involving Time (Part 2)

Lesson Purpose

The purpose of this lesson is for students to solve problems involving addition and subtraction of time intervals in minutes.

Lesson Narrative

In this lesson, students use any strategy and representation to solve problems involving elapsed time. The problems involve unknowns in all positions: start time, end time, and duration. When students recognize the mathematical features of familiar real-world objects and use those features to solve problems, they model with mathematics (MP4).
