Calculating Durations of Time
Students calculate time intervals, including finding start/end times and durations.
Key Questions
- Explain how to find the duration of an event that starts at 9:15 AM and ends at 10:30 AM.
- Predict the end time of an activity that lasts 45 minutes and starts at 2:00 PM.
- Construct a timeline to represent a sequence of events and their durations.

5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerMath Unit
Plan a multi-week math unit with conceptual coherence: from building number sense and procedural fluency to applying skills in context and developing mathematical reasoning across a connected sequence of lessons.
rubricMath Rubric
Build a math rubric that assesses problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and communication alongside procedural accuracy, giving students feedback on how they think, not just whether they got the right answer.
