Note – There are sets to use with both commas and no commas. In Australia we do not use the comma in numerals above 999. We use a small space. Europe does not either. In 2024 the decimal point will be replaced with the comma. So to remove the comma now allows for no confusion when reading large numbers with decimal places. Our petrol bowsers and many packaged food items are already using the comma as a decimal point.

Students use it daily to manage schedules, understand time gaps, and plan activities efficiently.
Mastering elapsed time improves logical thinking, strengthens mental math, and boosts confidence in handling time-related tasks.
Educators can make learning engaging by using hands-on activities, real-life scenarios, and interactive tools.
When students grasp elapsed time early, they develop lifelong skills for punctuality, organization, and time management.
Schools that prioritize this concept see higher math proficiency and better student independence.
Effective elapsed time instruction sets the foundation for academic and personal success.
Easter Hunt Task Cards are a great way to learn elapsed time.
