Matching Clocks (5 Minute Increments)
Second graders match the time on an analog clock to the time on a digital clock. Each sheet has 16 problems for solving.
Common Core Sheets
Finding Elapsed Time
Third graders read word problems to determine the elapsed time, given the start and end time.
Read Works
Cats in the Catacombs
Fourth graders read a short story and then answer questions based on what they read. Learners are asked to support their answers with evidence from the text.
Common Core Sheets
Finding Starting Time
Third graders read word problems to determine the start time, given the elapsed time and end time.

Reading an Analog Clock (1 Minute Increments)
Third graders read analog clocks and tell time to the nearest minute. AM and PM do not matter in this exercise.
Common Core Sheets
Identifying Time Phrases
Quarter to seven. Noon. Five after three. These are a few examples of the time phrases students must identify. Most of the times to not indicate AM or PM; however, noon and midnight should be identified appropriately.

Creating Area and Perimeter Rectangles
Third graders are challenged to draw their own rectangles given a specific area or perimeter. There are no examples of how each rectangle should look, so it is important for learners to persevere in finding a solution. There is more than...

Determining Area with Partial Blocks
A more challenging set of worksheets, third graders are required to measure area by counting whole and partial unit squares. Students will realize that two partial blocks make up one whole block. Each shaded figure is on a square unit grid.
Common Core Sheets
Determining Rectilinear Area
Third graders find the area of rectilinear shapes by partitioning them into two non-overlapping rectangles and adding the areas of the non-overlapping parts together. It allows learners to recognize area as an additive.
Common Core Sheets
Determining Area with Full Blocks
Third graders simply count the square units that make up each figure in order to find the area. Remind the class to count carefully in order to find the correct answer.
Common Core Sheets
Determining Area with Square Units
Third graders measure area by counting unit squares inside a rectangle.
Common Core Sheets
Finding Area by Tiling
Third graders find area by tiling a rectangle based on the given side lengths. This helps learners visualize and create the area of a figure. From here, they can count the total number of tiles inside the rectangle to find the answer.
