Looking for Engaging Year 3 Maths Games?

We’ve got you covered with our interactive games and activities to use right in PowerPoint or Google Slides! This fun new resource is a great way to review how to solve basic elapsed time (within an hour) word problems in a fun and engaging way. 

Use this interactive slide deck when first introducing your students to elapsed time. The question types included in this activity are

• Finding elapsed time when given start and end times
• Finding the start time when given the overall duration of an event
• Finding the end time when given a start time and duration

To participate, students choose the correct answer from four options. When they select the incorrect answer, the friendly spaceman reminds them to try again. When they choose the right answer, the spaceman encourages them to continue learning.
