Elapsed Time Math Centers Math Tiles

Description

Practice elapsed time by moving forward and backward from the time on an analog clock. Students place the digits 0–9 to show what time it will be or what time it was after adding or subtracting hours and minutes.

Why use Math Tiles?

• Make problem solving hands-on by letting students move number tiles and test their ideas.
• Build flexible thinking as students follow different clues and try more than one strategy.
• Practice perseverance and build confidence by revising a choice when the first idea doesn’t fit.
• Give students meaningful independent practice or have partners explain and compare their thinking.
• Save paper by reusing printed cards and having students record their answers on a separate sheet.

What’s included

• 30 puzzle cards in color and black and white
• Google Slides version with movable number tiles
• Student recording sheet
• Answer keys
• Teacher setup tips
• Printable 0–9 number tiles

How to use it

Use a card after a lesson on elapsed time and have partners explain how they counted forward or backward across an hour. For print, cut out the included number tiles or use a set you already have. In Google Slides, students move the tiles in edit mode.
