Converting Hours Minutes and Seconds

Print the page and read the directions with your child: Complete each table. Then solve each word problem. Write the answer on the line. When they finish, check the work together with the answer key.

Two conversion tables, hours to minutes and minutes to seconds, start the page. Six word problems follow, such as how many seconds a 3-minute stretch lasts, how many seconds a 1 minute 15 second plank lasts and how many more minutes Mom runs than Dad. The directions on the page read: Complete each table. Then solve each word problem. Write the answer on the line. An answer key is included.

Yes, both. We made it for 4th Grade measurement, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with time word problems. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

Problems cover elapsed time (how long between two times), start/end time calculations, converting minutes to hours, and scheduling scenarios.

Many problems require students to convert units, add or subtract time values, and interpret results in context - each step building logical reasoning.

Yes - they support CCSS 4.MD.A.2, which asks students to solve word problems involving intervals of time expressed in compound units.

2 printable worksheets, all free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

These are written for 4th Grade students, roughly ages 9-10. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.

Yes. Each one shows the Common Core code it covers on its own page, so you can check the alignment yourself rather than taking our word for it.
