Calculating Elapsed Time
Students will calculate the duration of events using start and end times.
Key Questions
- Explain how to calculate how long an event lasted if we know the start and end times.
- Design a timeline to represent the duration of a journey.
- Justify why time is measured in blocks of 60 rather than 100.

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.
