Lesson 10
Resolvamos problemas sobre el tiempo (parte 1)
Lesson Purpose
The purpose of this lesson is for students to solve problems involving addition and subtraction of time intervals in minutes in a way that makes sense to them.
Lesson Narrative
In a previous lesson, students learned to tell and write time to the nearest minute. In this lesson, students reason about elapsed time using any representation that makes sense to them, such as the number line, tables, equations, and words. Students consider a variety of representations so that they can make connections and possibly use them in the next lesson (MP2).
