Elapsed Time: Word Problems & Number Lines

Practice using a number line to solve for elapsed time in this worksheet for third graders! Learners will read each word problem, then model it on a number line. Students will be asked to find the start time, end time, and elapsed time throughout these real-life scenarios.

This worksheet aims to strengthen students’ understanding of elapsed time by relating it to common situations in a student’s daily life. Calculating elapsed time is a vital skill for young learners, and they must be able to recognize when and how the concept can be applied.
