Exploring Elapsed Time with Z-charts

Sara from Geeky Tici introduces an elapsed time strategy called the Z chart. She sets up a word problem involving Christy's school hours and demonstrates how to calculate the elapsed time using the Z chart. The process involves adding minutes to reach the next hour, counting full hours, and adding remaining minutes to find the total time Christy spent at school.
