Project Based Learning: Elapsed Time
- PDF
What educators are saying
Description
This Field Trip PBL Task is a great project based learning experience for extending students' learning of the math concept: elapsed time.
After teaching the students how to tell time to the minute and calculate elapsed time, they were presented with this real-world task which asked them to create a schedule for a 3rd grade field trip to Plimoth Plantation. To complete the project they needed to tell time to the minute, convert minutes/hours, calculate elapsed time and more.
It was fun and engaging. I designed it to be used with my students who had demonstrated proficiency in telling time/elapsed time and needed a challenge/extension while I continued to focus on those skills with my other students. Students loved planning a field trip!
