Calculating Elapsed Time with T Charts

This video tutorial explains the concept of elapsed time and its practical applications in daily life. It introduces the T-chart method for calculating elapsed time, demonstrating its use through three examples: James's drive to the beach, Molly's gymnastics class, and Evie's race. The video concludes with a suggestion to explore the timeline method for further learning.
