What this lesson shows
Soccer practice starts at 2:00 and ends at 4:30. Jump along a timeline: 2 hours to 4:00, then a half hour to 4:30. Practice took 2 and a half hours.
The worked example
The lesson works this one step by step: 2:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.
The steps
- Guess first
- Jump 1 hour at a time
- Then a half hour, if one is left
- Count the jumps
Helping at home
Have your kid guess first: more than how many hours, less than how many? Then draw a timeline with a long mark for each hour and a short mark for each half hour. Jump 1 hour at a time, then a half hour if one is left, and count the jumps.
If your kid gets stuck
Guess, then jump hours and half hours.
