Measuring Elapsed Time on a Number Line

This video tutorial teaches how to measure elapsed time going backwards using a number line. It begins with a review of important vocabulary related to time measurement, such as minutes and hours. The tutorial then explains how to use a number line to count time intervals and solve elapsed time problems. A story problem is presented, demonstrating how to calculate the start time of an activity by subtracting time intervals from the end time. The video concludes with a summary of the lesson.

What does 'elapsed time' refer to?

• The time displayed on a clock

• The amount of time from the beginning to the end of an activity

• The duration of one hour
