Telling time word problems

The first instance of  is under the 3rd Grade Math Mission. This exercise performs addition and subtraction using clock arithmetic.

Types of Problems
There are two types of problems in this exercise:


 * 1) Tell how many minutes have passed: This problem describes a situation and asks the student to correctly enter how much time passed.Timewp1.png
 * 2) Which clock is correct: This problem also describes a situation but this time it asks the student to determine which clock is set correctly. Both digital and analog clocks are used.Timewp2.png

Strategies
This exercise is easy to get accuracy badges as long as you are comfortable with telling time, especially on the analog clock for digital age students. For some reason research is indicating that speed badges are medium difficulty to get, although it seems they should be easy. Perhaps the timing is set too low so far.


 * 1) Many (but not all) future times involve going past the o'clock and into the next hour. Be careful to be aware of this.
 * 2) The digital clock is easier to get than the analog one. Make sure to acknowledge whether answers are close to the next hour or not.
