My Day
NAME_________________________
1. Practice elapsed time by creating your own daily schedule. For each
activity, use a pencil and paper clip to spin the spinner and record
the elapsed time, or duration, for the activity. Add that duration to
the start time to find the finish time for each activity. The finish
time for the previous activity will become the start time for your
next activity. The first activity has been done for you.
