Build confident elapsed-time problem solving with explicit strategy teaching, hands-on activities and sequenced independent practice. This Year 4 unit helps students calculate time between events, find missing start and finish times, and apply their reasoning to timetables and multi-step contexts.

The editable presentation introduces number-line jumps, T-charts and Z-charts. The editable quiz provides 10 interleaved question-and-answer pairs. Printable resources include a classroom display, five activity and game resources, six worksheets with answers, a two-page assessment with answers and a five-level rubric.

Teachers can use the complete sequence across approximately one week or select individual resources for warm-ups, guided groups, maths rotations, homework, revision and assessment.
